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

THANK YOU for publishing this article. You have pretty much summarized what's going on in the Information Security world. While there are some notable exceptions, this is our story in almost all business. Unfortunately, the management from "Business" who SHOULD be reading this article will likely not get to read this.
Another trend I have been noticing is that there are currently a lot of 'new' security-minded people suddenly being born. 'Product sales manager' suddenly becoming 'security sales expert,' 'Business liaison' to 'security liaison,' 'project manager' to 'security guru'... list goes on and on. It would have been beneficial for the future of business and our industry if all these people with new security title learned about their job before starting to talk about it in front of any C-suite team.
Well, I am already getting tired of seeing the show-off both online and offline; enough that I have erased most of my security-related skillsets from online profiles.
