However, despite its vulnerabilities, DNS can unlock a hidden world of security capabilities that can help protect today’s highly distributed and cloud-integrated networks. The Hidden Potential of DNS in Security reveals how attackers exploit DNS and how cybersecurity professionals can proactively use DNS to turn the tables and mitigate those threats.

Knowing how to leverage the protective capabilities of DNS can give you an unprecedented head start in stopping today’s advanced cyberthreats. This book gives you that knowledge.

Written specifically for security practitioners, and including real-world case studies, this book offers a thorough yet easy-to-digest understanding of today’s most urgent and potentially damaging DNS-based cyberthreats, how to mitigate them, and how to leverage your DNS infrastructure to further your security mission. In it, you will discover:

Why DNS is inherently vulnerable and why knowledge of DNS is now crucial for security teams

How malware uses DNS to avoid detection and communicate with command-and-control (C2) infrastructure

How threat actors leverage DNS in executing a broad array of attacks involving look-alike domains, domain generation algorithms, DNS tunneling, data exfiltration, and cache poisoning

What DNSSEC is (and is not) and how it works

How recently emerging encrypted DNS standards can impact security controls, along with the security advantages they can provide

How DNS can be leveraged in Zero Trust architectures

How you can improve your security posture using the DNS infrastructure you already have
