DNS Security Solutions

The domain name system (DNS) is fundamental to the proper operation of nearly every IP network application, from web browsing, email, to multi-media applications and more. DNS provides the lookup and translation services from name to IP addresses that are used by computers to communicate. An attack that renders the DNS service unavailable or which manipulates the integrity of the data contained within DNS can effectively bring a network down.

DNS has proven extremely effective and scalable in practice and most people take DNS for granted given this and its proven reliability. However, its essential function and decentralized architecture serve to attract attackers seeking to exploit the architecture and its rich data store for sinister activities. Diamond IP offers a defense in depth approach to reduce exposure and mitigate impacts including DNS security extensions (DNSSEC), denial of service mitigation, access control lists, DNS firewall, inbound and outbound rate limiting and more.

White Papers

  • DNS Security Strategies

    Learn about the many ways DNS can be attacked or used as an attack vehicle and how you can defend your DNS. This white paper begins with a basic overview of DNS then presents potential vulnerabilities, followed by mitigation strategies that can be deployed to reduce exposure to various attack types.

  • Protect Against Malware with DNS Firewalls

    Securing your network requires disciplined systems, processes and intelligence. Most security strategies rightly focus on data flows into and out of an organization in an attempt to prevent illicit intrusion and infiltration. However, you may not be protecting your network optimally if you are not considering attacks originating from within your network. For example, an attacker may attempt to install malware on devices within your network to enlist such devices as subject to the control of the attacker. Learn how a DNS firewall can protect your network and to help identify and block such infected devices.

  • Securing Domain Name Resolution with DNSSEC

    DNS security extensions, DNSSEC, provide a means to authenticate the origin of resolution data within DNS and to verify the integrity of that data. DNSSEC provides a means to detect packet interception, message ID guessing, and cache poisoning attacks. This white paper provides a high level overview of how DNSSEC works and the basic administrative requirements for configuring and managing DNSSEC configurations.

  • Malware Mayhem Mitigation

    Malware abuse has surged to become more than just a nuisance for network security engineers. As independent IT security company AV-Test Institute attests, 250,000 new malicious programs are cataloged every day. Malware comes in numerous different forms and has been used to attack numerous different device types from IoT devices, to power system devices, to mobile phones and of course good old laptops and computers. This webinar discusses strategies for reducing your vulnerability to malware and steps you can take to detect and mitigate it, with an emphasis on DNS firewall technology.
