Securing DNS: How to protect your business against security and performance pitfalls

May 17, 2023

Websites and mobile applications are only as secure as their weakest components. As DNS is one of the core services that all web applications rely on, how can you ensure that vulnerabilities in your DNS infrastructure do not compromise your business?

From its inception, DNS has been susceptible to a wide spectrum of common cyber attacks. Since DNS infrastructure was not built with security in mind, it can be easily exploited by attackers, making it a key vector in attacks that can degrade performance or bring servers down completely.

These attacks, along with rising user expectations around website performance and reliability, make it risky for DNS to be a single point of failure.

Achieving robust site security, performance, and reliability requires both integrated DNS security and a redundant DNS infrastructure. This paper explores different strategies and tools designed to help secure your DNS and achieve those benefits.
