Understanding Why DNS is a Favorite Target for Data Theft

Since DNS isn’t generally associated with data delivery, it is often overlooked. Cyber criminals benefit from this assumption to bypass security mechanisms for transporting sensitive data from inside to outside the enterprise. The DNS protocol is used as either a tunneling protocol or as a ‘file transfer’ protocol.

Firewalls and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems find it difficult to detect this exfiltration in a timely manner, so most businesses don’t even know that data is being stolen until it is too late.

To protect data confidentiality, organizations need to look beyond traditional security solutions which have proven to be ineffective against data exfiltration via DNS.
