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

While IT people worry about CIA, ICS experts shall worry about SRP (Safety - Reliability-Productivity). None want to be blamed for a painful outage or damage just because they patched the OS.
ICS cyber experts know very well that every change to ICS hardware or software is a severe risk to SRP. So... what is the solution? where we want to be in 5 or 10 years? You shall plan building a brand new and modern control room, build it with modern hardware and software and fit the original application to the new system.
But ! be ready that it will not work. Plan for spending 4-6 months and test it before you can commision the new control room.
The result is funny: The new control room will be as good as the old one and not better ! But it will have strong cyber defense solutions build in and will be ready for periodic cyber security upgrades.
Yes, it worth the investment, and also there is no alternative!
