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

Also, there needs to be a discussion on behavorial analysis where if the attack took place in this part of the country, the software should enter it into a SharedDB (No-SQL); big-data can be used to create relationships where each attack element is scrunitized to the nth degree. This provides the security teams with a way to determine if this hack occurred from the same region, person, type or some characteristic where they can narrow it down to an area, business or person. This correlation should be prioritized based on the level of severity and then feed into the ML system where resolutions are presented to the security expert; each expert can determine if this is worth pursuing or not, but this reaction can be done in real-time without user interaction if this is a repeatable occurrence.

There are companies who are making changes to the landscape, but they are not being effectively used and integrated, there needs to be another focus on how information is gathered during the initial stages to ensure it is cleansed and/or eradicated before it has time to incubate or be part of their ecosystem.
