Is DNS Your Security Achilles Heel?

Booklet cover discussing DNS security from GlobalDots.

With the constant drumbeat of news reports about security breaches, cyber security is hard
to ignore. Organizations understand that they need comprehensive solutions that prevent,
detect, and respond to security threats. They often implement multiple layers of security
controls to protect their IT systems.
Yet gaps remain. Many organizations have a blind spot when it comes to the Domain Name

organizations fail to install corresponding safeguards. Cybercriminals have been only too
happy to exploit this security vulnerability.


This white paper explains how attackers take advantage of recursive DNS and provides best
practices you can follow to mitigate the risks.
