Everything You Need to Know About DNS AttacksIt's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask.
Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted.
Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic

Unlike many other biometrics, voice verification is a flexible technology that can be used-áin a text dependent or text independent fashion, presenting itself in a challenge response interface or operating in the background.-á-áLike other biometrics,-áit is a statistical process that results in a score as indicated in the article and-áhas been around a number of years.-á-áMany of the algorithms and research resides in the public domain and there are open source development environments.-á I do not agree that a company necesarily needs to engage with an expensive vendor as indicated.-á From my research and experience, I find that having a continuous good handle on your user set and biometric data is the key.-á-á
Once we go beyond a well defined user set, biometrics becomes-áone of the ultimate 'big data' applications in that we really only know how good the biometric is when we include all of the population.-á-áThis presents a challenge to performing all of the biometric processing on the mobile device since the biometric 'engine' will need to be updated over time as part of the biometric management application.
I have done an interesting biometrics TV series on biometrics in conjunction with NY Infragard.-á Some of the articles like, The Top 4 reasons to use Biometrics, are covered on the ibiometrics web-site blog.
