Hi Team,

 

Our AWS infra team found unusual DNS in Guardduty as below, 
they are asking if this IP is legitimate and is using 162.159.36.2 as dns server, this is not in our IP range and country region.

Can you please check & guide if it is related to Qlik and where we can check and update this DNS server details.

or if it not related to QlikSense then kindly confirm.

We are using Qlik Sense on Windows product May 2023 Patch 09
