Zero Trust has evolved—from a security framework to a strategic imperative. But in today’s hybrid, AI-accelerated threat landscape, traditional implementations fall short if DNS is left out of the equation.
Join Infoblox and Microsoft for a forward-looking discussion on how Protective DNS is becoming the cornerstone of modern Zero Trust architectures. DNS is not just infrastructure—it’s a strategic control plane for both intent-based and preemptive security.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- Why implicit trust in DNS undermines Zero Trust principles
- How Protective DNS (PDNS) preemptively blocks threats before the first packet is sent
- How Microsoft’s ZTDNS validates the need for DNS-layer policy enforcement
- Real-world strategies for integrating DNS into your Zero Trust journey
Whether you’re a CISO, architect, or security strategist, this session will equip you with a modern blueprint for Zero Trust—one that starts with DNS.
