The Domain Name System (DNS) lets users and websites interact smoothly and seamlessly by turning human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses. Given the high importance of DNS in digital communications, it often falls victim to attacks, which lead to data breaches, and service outages.
In 2022, 88% of organizations worldwide fell victim to DNS attacks; each incident cost $942,0001 on average. As businesses increasingly rely on digital platforms, understanding and mitigating DNS vulnerabilities has become crucial for maintaining network security and protecting sensitive data.
