Experts say: DNS Security should not be ignored

System nazw domenowych (DNS) stanowi fundament działania internetu.

04 Aug Experts say: DNS Security should not be ignored

Posted at 09:09h in publications, Whalebone by

When it comes to cybersecurity, many organizations still underestimate one of the most fundamental layers of protection: DNS security. Yet experts and institutions worldwide agree, DNS is no longer optional. It is a critical component of any modern cybersecurity strategy.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the backbone of the internet. Every time a device connects online, it uses DNS to translate human-readable addresses into IP addresses. This makes DNS a prime target for attackers and an ideal place to stop threats before they can do any damage.

That’s why vendors like Whalebone are pioneering Protective DNS (PDNS) solutions that proactively block malicious domains and help businesses secure their networks more effectively.

When it comes to cy­ber­se­cu­rity, many or­ga­ni­za­tions still un­der­es­ti­mate one of the most fun­da­men­tal lay­ers of pro­tec­tion: DNS security. Yet ex­perts and in­sti­tu­tions world­wide agree, DNS is no longer op­tional. It is a crit­i­cal com­po­nent of any mod­ern cy­ber­se­cu­rity strat­egy.

The Do­main Name Sys­tem (DNS) is the back­bone of the in­ter­net. Every time a de­vice con­nects on­line, it uses DNS to trans­late hu­man-read­able ad­dresses into IP ad­dresses. This makes DNS a prime tar­get for at­tack­ers and an ideal place to stop threats be­fore they can do any dam­age.

That’s why ven­dors like Whale­bone are pi­o­neer­ing Pro­tec­tive DNS (PDNS) so­lu­tions that proac­tively block ma­li­cious do­mains and help busi­nesses secure their networks more ef­fec­tively.

Why DNS Se­cu­rity Is Crit­i­cal

Ac­cord­ing to the NSA (Na­tion Se­cu­rity Agency), or­ga­ni­za­tions should “lever­age Pro­tec­tive DNS (PDNS) services that aid in block­ing ma­li­cious ac­tiv­ity.”
Sim­i­larly, Gi­gaOm an­a­lyst Paul Stringfel­low em­pha­sizes that “al­most all cy­ber­at­tacks will start by in­ter­act­ing with DNS,” mak­ing DNS fil­ter­ing one of the most ef­fec­tive early de­fenses.

From gov­ern­ment agen­cies like CISA and the EU’s NIS2 Di­rec­tive to in­dus­try lead­ers such as Gart­ner, the con­sen­sus is clear:

  • DNS security is easy to de­ploy, with min­i­mal risk or dis­rup­tion.
  • It proac­tively blocks ma­li­cious do­mains, re­duc­ing the risk of phishing, ran­somware, and data breaches.
  • It serves as a low-cost, high-im­pact ad­di­tion to any security stack.

Real-World Re­sults

Or­ga­ni­za­tions across in­dus­tries are al­ready see­ing re­sults with Pro­tec­tive DNS. From mu­nic­i­pal­i­ties and man­u­fac­tur­ing com­pa­nies to in­ter­na­tional con­sul­tan­cies, Whale­bone’s PDNS so­lu­tion has helped block threats be­fore they could es­ca­late often faster than tra­di­tional fire­walls.

As one IT specialist put it: “I can no longer imag­ine run­ning a network with­out this level of security. My only re­gret is not hav­ing started to use it sooner.”

Take ac­tion on DNS Se­cu­rity

Cy­ber­se­cu­rity threats are evolv­ing, but the foun­da­tion of de­fense re­mains the same: stop threats where they begin. With DNS security, you can in­ter­cept at­tacks at their source, strengthen your re­silience, and align with lead­ing security frame­works.

We offer Whale­bone DNS Se­cu­rity to help you block threats be­fore they reach your network
