About this talk

On January 22, 2019, the Department of Homeland Security sent an emergency directive to nearly all federal agencies about a recently detected global cyberattack campaign that targets the Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure at numerous government organizations with the goal of hijacking DNS traffic for malicious purposes. The emergency directive gives agencies until February 5th to conduct audits of public DNS records to ensure they resolve to the right destinations, update passwords for accessing DNS record systems, and implement multi-factor authentication for accessing systems that allow changes to be made to DNS records. Join leading DNS security expert Cricket Liu to learn the steps your organization needs to take to comply with the directive and the reasons behind the urgency. During this timely discussion, you’ll discover: • How DNS hijacking works and the threat it presents to government networks and data • Why government DNS infrastructure is vulnerable to these and other threats • How to protect your network in a constantly-changing DNS threat landscape • How to unify and automate your DNS security response Learn why it’s more important than ever to raise network security to the next level.
