The Need for 360° DNS Security

DNS servers are the backbone of modern network infrastructure, enabling essential services like email, internet, and cloud application access, which are crucial for business connectivity. However, as cyber threats grow more sophisticated, DNS servers have become prime targets and vectors for attacks.

Malware actors exploit DNS in 85% of cyber assaults, utilizing it as a conduit for malevolent activities spanning DDoS attacks, phishing, data exfiltration, and more. In 2023, 90% of organizations faced DNS attacks, averaging $1.1 million per attack. Traditional security solutions, such as Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), often fall short in providing adequate protection against these specialized threats.

Furthermore, organizations grapple with escalating compliance pressures from regulations like GDPR, NIS 2 and DORA, requiring stringent DNS security measures. At the same time, increasing network complexity, driven by cloud migration and fragmented tools, creates visibility gaps and weakens security enforcement. Additionally, the underutilization of DNS data leaves organizations vulnerable to undetected threats.

A comprehensive 360° DNS Security strategy is essential to address these challenges, ensuring data protection, service continuity, and operational efficiency.
