Securing DNS to Thwart Advanced Targeted Attacks and Reduce Data Breaches

The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.

Internet traffic is severely affected when critical DNS services are not reliable or are compromised by cyber attacks, just as highway traffic is disrupted or stopped when bridges are damaged. Even worse than disruption, insecure DNS services can be used by attackers to impersonate a business and route customer traffic to malicious sites that steal usernames, passwords, account information or valuable intellectual property. DNS services can be secured with the right configuration and deployment of appropriate solutions, but in many IT organizations the responsibility is spread across multiple groups and often falls through the cracks. CEOs and CIOs should ensure first that DNS governance is well defined and then make sure those DNS services are delivered efficiently, reliably and securely. Request Free!

Official Space Weather Advisory issued by NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center Boulder, Colorado, USA SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY OUTLOOK #15-9 2015 March 1 at 8:32 p.m. MST (2015 March 2 0332 UTC) **** SPACE WEATHER OUTLOOK **** Summary For February 23-March 1 G1 (minor) geomagnetic storms were observed on 23 February and again on 01 March due to effects from a pair of recurrent coronal hole high speed streams. Outlook For March 2-8 G1 (minor) geomagnetic storms are likely on 02 March due to effects from a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream. R1 (minor) radio blackouts are possible on 05-08 March due to the return of old Region 2282 (N11, L=191), an M-class producer on its previous transit.
