Systems and methods provide for synergistic domain name system DNS security updates for an enterprise network operating under a Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). A system may be configured to collect positive and/or negative unified threat defense (UTD) results, deploy a rules-based model that, when a threat or clearance is detected across several SD-WAN edge network devices, triggers an update to a local security blacklist/whitelist, wherein the update comprises a signature, and push the update to other devices that have not yet seen the threat or clearance.
