DNS Security: Protecting the Internet's Phone Book
DNS is abused in phishing, malware and data theft. Learn the controls that protect your users and your domains.
Why attackers target DNS
Almost every connection starts with a DNS lookup, so DNS is both a control point and an attack vector. Malware uses DNS to reach command servers, phishing relies on look-alike domains and attackers can tunnel data out through DNS queries.
Controls that make a difference
- Protective DNS that blocks known malicious domains
- DNSSEC to sign your domains and validate responses
- Monitoring for unusual query volumes and tunnelling
- Registrar lock and MFA on domain accounts
- Anycast authoritative DNS for resilience
Do not forget email authentication
SPF, DKIM and DMARC records live in DNS and stop attackers spoofing your domain. Move DMARC from monitoring to enforcement once legitimate senders are aligned.
