Security News > 2020 > February > The future of DNS security: From extremes to a new equilibrium

In anticipation of his keynote at HITB Security Conference 2020 in Amsterdam, we talked to internet pioneer Dr. Paul Vixie, Farsight Security Chairman and CEO. Dr. Vixie was inducted into the internet Hall of Fame in 2014 for work related to DNS and anti-spam technologies.

He is the author of open source internet software including BIND 8, and of many internet standards documents concerning DNS and DNSSEC. You've worked in the DNS field for more than three decades, how have things changed since the late 1980s?

We needed a balance, but DNS over HTTP is a new extreme.

How do you envision DNS security evolving in the near future?

Managed private network operators are going to have to figure out how to prevent DNS over HTTP from bypassing their enterprise and family security controls, and there will be hell to pay in the form of new complexities and collateral damage.
