Firefly integrates with NS1 to pull in information about your DNS records and zones as "assets". This means in your Firefly Inventory, you'll see NS1 DNS records listed (with their configurations) just like cloud assets. You can then enforce IaC or policies on them as well (for example, ensuring all DNS records follow a naming convention).
