DNS Blast: High Performing DNS Cache Against DDoS Attacks

A New Security Context For Extreme DoS Attacks on DNS Services

Recent months have shown a dramatic increase in the scale, frequency and sophistication of DNS DDoS attacks. Domain name services are for the third consecutive year the most targeted application layer, commonly used by malware to build among the largest volumetric attacks ever seen. At the same time, the latest reports also demonstrated the insidious approach of hackers in building DNS stealth assaults that are not possible to detect with traditional protection systems, aiming to exfiltrate confidential data or causing huge disruption to business operation.

The fast growing deployments of unsecured IoT devices, user mobility and BYOD is amplifying these threats, and calling for a drastic rethink of the DNS security approach through high performance and purpose-built advanced analytics technology.

Only by understanding these new risks and integrating new solutions can you efficiently and proactively strengthen business continuity, data confidentiality and user experience that your company deserves.
