Reducing Your Cyber Risk with DNS Protection

Although we have a lot to thank Paul Mockapetris for since the invention of the domain name system (DNS) in 1983, we must remember that DNS was not designed with security in mind. And since then, bad actors have been trying to exploit this in numerous ways. DNS is designed to be invisible, so it is easy to overlook DNS security as a priority. However, a vulnerable DNS leaves your organization susceptible to risk. DNS attacks are on the rise, and the cost of a successful DNS attack can exceed more than $1 million (Dark Reading). Adopting DNS protection allows you to stop threats early, reduce the risk of malware infection to your network and endpoints and maintain privacy.
