What is relevant is that DNS traffic has now become a target for cybercriminals. That's a simplification, but the details of DNS are not relevant to this article. The originating node then uses this IP address to set up a communication session with the target server or device. Requests from servers and endpoints to translate domain names into IP addresses are passed to a DNS server that returns the IP address and other relevant information. It translates human-friendly domain names (such as ) into network and machine-friendly numerical IP addresses that nodes on the internet use to locate each other and communicate. DNS (Domain Name System) is the core 'contacts database' for the Internet.
One aspect of the overall security landscape that is often overlooked is the protection of DNS infrastructure. They have the issue of protecting multiple organisations. This is especially true for MSPs who are providing security and other services to their clients. The technology and people-focused security techniques combine into an overall strategy that prevents attacks from succeeding and allows for rapid detection and recovery if defences are breached. The protections need to cover identity access & management, endpoints, malware defences, robust network edge protection via firewalls and intrusion systems, and many other technological and training based protections.
Delivering cyber resilience for businesses and other organisations requires a multifaceted cybersecurity strategy.
