Security News > 2020 > July > The effectiveness of using DNS as a foundational element in future network security best practices

As cyberattacks escalate, Infoblox and Forrester Consulting investigated how security and risk teams are using their DNS investments.

94% of S&R leaders either use or consider DNS as a starting point for threat investigations but only 43% of security and risk leaders rely on DNS as a data source to complete their investigations.

66% of respondents use DNS to catch threats - from DNS tunneling/data exfiltration, domain generation algorithms, and lookalike domain attacks - that other security tools miss but only 34% anticipate using internal DNS to stop malicious attacks at scale.

"At the same time, most companies are leaving money on the table by under-using their DNS investments. With 56% of leaders looking to improve security ROI, DNS can help save the day by providing a single pane of visibility into threats across the network and the edges."

"DNS is one of the most effective ways that companies can fortify their security and risk frameworks and maximize their existing security investments."
