Network security experts just can\u2019t win. For years, their goal was to keep malware from getting in. That hasn\u2019t changed, but now they have to worry about good data getting carried out.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the mission-critical Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure \u2013 the one IT teams support and the enterprise can\u2019t live without \u2013 is used increasingly as an attack surface, and traditional security solutions aren\u2019t built to protect it.<\/p>\n

Worse still, it is under attack from two directions. Outside-in threats include DNS DDoS, exploits, reconnaissance and DNS hijacking. Inside-out threats can come from malware infected endpoints or from malicious insiders communicating with bad domains to exfiltrate data. According to a recent\u00a0SC<\/em>\u00a0magazine article, 46% of enterprise IT decision makers surveyed saw data exfiltration happen via DNS.<\/p>\n

You can use the unique position of DNS in the network to turn DNS from a vulnerability to a security asset, and plug a critical gap in your defense-in-depth strategy. Join us at 10:00 a.m. PT on Tuesday, June 30th\u00a0for a one-hour webinar entitled \u201cSecuring DNS On Two Fronts,\u201d during which we\u2019ll discuss in detail:<\/p>\n
