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

I remember reading an article from DR that talked about combining "IT Security" with "DevOps" to create a "SecDev" or "DevSec" group. I think in this particular case, this is a good use case where the security teams can get involved in the security design aspects and make suggestions as to how to utilize existing tools from operations:
We are seeing more of this, Louisiana is under a state of emergency (schools are being plummeted by various cyber actors), by working with various groups from different regions of the US, we can start coming up with better ways of addressing this cyber issue. A number of companies are doing a good job to help, it just depends on your budget, but if you have good people on staff, it may not have to cost the organization anything but labor cost.
Just a thought.
