The
cyber threat landscape is dynamic and accelerating. With ever-evolving tactics and
growing financial incentives, hackers have know-how and reason to seek out vulnerabilities in your
security stack.
The
Domain Name System (DNS) is one such gap in many organizations’ defenses, and malicious actors are increasingly utilizing the recursive
DNS infrastructure to launch damaging
phishing attacks,
malware and
ransomware campaigns, and
data exfiltration against companies.
Proactively
protecting your company against such threats at the DNS control-point, as opposed to retroactive triage and remediation, simply makes sense. But layering an enterprise
DNS security solution into your defense stack should be done in conjunction with enforcing
DNS best practices.
The following are industry standards that will help prevent DNS exploitation and, when coupled with an
enterprise threat protection service, will aid you in identifying, blocking, and mitigating threats, as well as enforcing Acceptable Use Policies across your
organization.
