DON'T TAKE YOUR DNS SERVICE FOR GRANTED!
- enhance your cyber security awareness with our DNS monitoring service!
"Many organisations tend to take much of their DNS infrastructure for granted. For example, many of them neither keep logs of their DNS traffic, nor do they monitor changes made to their domain records."
Trusting the domain content is key! Our monitoring service validate that your domain content remain as intended.
The DNS is a business critical infrastructure service. Without an available DNS service the Internet will simply stop working.
With DNSmonitor keeping a close eye on your name servers you drastically reduce the risk of being caught off guard.
Availability
Unresponsive DNS servers will impact your sites availability and can cause loss of revenue.
Integrity
Ensure content correctness to make sure that every connection is routed to the intended target.
Performance
Nobody likes slow connections. Make sure your DNS servers aren't causing them.
Security
Configuration errors can leak information that put your entire organisation at risk.
DNS monitor can help
We provide our subscribers with continuous monitoring of the integrity and availability of their DNS servers and resource records.
DNS threats and exposure
The DNS was introduced in 1984 to provide Internet-wide translation of computer names into IP addresses to allow the continuous growth of the Internet. Due to its exposed and central role the DNS is constantly targeted by hackers.
Common attacks against the DNS aim to manipulate DNS data in order to redirect traffic through hacker controlled infrastructure. Usually referred to as man-in-the-middle attacks, they allow the hacker to eavesdrop and record session traffic usually without detection. Once a hacker gains control and successfully can manipulate the DNS data his options are virtually unlimited.
Attacks on DNS infrastructure is more common than you might think.
Attacks on the DNS infrastructure happens on a daily basis but the hijacking attacks exposed in early 2019 were of a much larger scale and with an unprecedented success rate. These attacks went unnoticed for two full years before being detected and exposed. This is undeniable evidence of the skill level the hackers of today possess. Read more about the attacks in our article DNS Hijacking campaign revisited.
The sheer magnitude of these attacks, their success rate and the implications that followed compelled the American agency DHS CISA to issue its first ever Emergency Directive (ED 19-01) requiring all US agencies to complete four mitigating actions within ten business days! The first item on that list was to audit and validate every DNS resource record on every authoritative name server!
No matter how many and how effective you think your security countermeasures are, continuous validation of your DNS resource records is invaluable and probably the only way to find out if your DNS infrastructure is being hijacked.
