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

Remember when your Mother told you to chew your food carefully and not just gulp it down? Works with data as well. It is not how much you "consume" but rather how you go about chewing through the data to produce information. that when analyzed results in actionable intelligence products.
You need a metehodology when it comes to assessing your data. NGA, DoD, DIA, CIA and just about all the other three-letter agencies in the IC, working the cyber problem, are already relying on Acitivity-Based Intelligence (ABI) methods and tradecraft, enabled by Object Based Production (OBP) techniques.
No, they are not just "buzzwords"and yes they are getting good results. If you have not heard of ABI or OBP, then you probably really are just gulping down your food! I mean your data, and choking on it! Not a criticism, just an observation! :->)
