In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the critical role of supporting and managing the Domain Name System (DNS) cannot be overstated. While Private DNS is fundamental for maintaining the seamless operation of IT services, it has emerged as a prime target for cybercriminals. An alarming 82% of organizations across diverse verticals have felt the widespread impact of DNS-based attacks. What’s more, these organizations are increasingly recognizing the inadequacy of conventional security systems, such as next-gen firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and data loss prevention tools, in effectively protecting data confidentiality and ensuring service continuity.

The recent IDC Global DNS Threat Report serves as a stark revelation of the escalating challenges organizations face in securing their DNS infrastructure. The report exposes a staggering 50% increase in the average cost per attack over the past twelve months, reaching nearly $1.07 million. On average, companies are grappling with 9.5 attacks, highlighting the persistent and sophisticated nature of DNS-based threats. This alarming trend underscores the imperative for organizations to reassess and strengthen their DNS security strategies to mitigate financial losses and operational disruptions resulting from cyberattacks.

In response to this pressing concern, Kirk Appelman, GM & VP North America, and Bob Smiley, Senior Systems Engineer, are hosting a webinar designed to empower organizations in enhancing their DNS security and combatting data exfiltration. The webinar promises a deep dive into the techniques employed by hackers in DNS attacks, featuring a live demonstration on data exfiltration and practical strategies for mitigation. Furthermore, participants will gain valuable insights into how actionable data derived from DNS analytics can fortify the broader network security ecosystem. By delving into these aspects, organizations can proactively safeguard their data, ensure uninterrupted service delivery, and effectively navigate the evolving landscape of DNS-based threats.
