"Co-Opetition" Indeed
It is not easy to be a CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) at an enterprise these days.  Not least because enterprises are now experiencing a tsunami of cybersecurity attack vectors that is unprecedented in both the magnitude and variety of attacks.  New cybersecurity threat categories are constantly being created, resulting in the nonstop introduction of myriad point solutions – with hundreds of security vendors emerging every year.  Increased collaboration among these vendors is key to helping CISOs fight cybercrime thereby making cyberspace safer for all of us.  We are delighted to see "co-opetition" become one of the key cybersecurity industry trends of this year.

I agree Marilyn. Everybody wins with collaboration. Obviously no one has unlimited resources to address big challenges.

I would be surprised if NSA, FBI and CIA are not collaborating. They certainly share information.

Collaboration
Collaboration amount vendors is a good news for us. Getting resources together and addressing the today's security issues is the way to go. No vendor standalone can really handle it properly.

I think the fact that the cybersecurity vendors are collaborating is a big plus for enterprises  -- and hopefully -- will produce a more integrated and comprehensive defense against attackers. Go co-opetition!

It kind of makes sense for these organisations to cooperate, considering they serve the same goals. Yes it's a little different than agencies working on a national level, but if it offers better security and doesn't compromise any ideals each of those individual companies have, then why not?

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It'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
