DNS Security Best Practices To Implement Now
SearchSecurity, Thursday, September 19th, 2024
DNS is a key component in any enterprise network. Auditing DNS servers and encrypting DNS traffic are just two of the steps to take to protect your organization's DNS deployment.
DNS is one of the most critical services on a network. It translates easy-to-remember domain names into difficult-to-remember IP addresses, enabling users and administrators to refer to network resources by name while permitting network nodes to address packets with destination IP addresses. Without DNS, we'd have to use IP addresses to establish and recognize all network resources.
Clearly, such a critical service must be well protected from malicious data, changed information and eavesdropping. Let's examine some DNS security best practices that protect the integrity and privacy of your name resolution services.
