Implement DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing
attacks and ensure the authenticity of DNS
responses.
Perform regular software updates for DNS to

address known vulnerabilities.
Use robust authentication methods, such as two-

factor or biometric authentication, to prevent
unauthorised access to DNS servers.
Use DNS filtering to block access to malicious IP

addresses and prevent DNS-based attacks.
Monitor DNS traffic and log queries and

responses to detect suspicious activity.
Conduct regular security audits to identify

vulnerabilities in DNS infrastructure.

Educate employees on DNS security

best practices to prevent human error.
Use advanced threat intelligence tools to detect

even highly evasive threat activity in DNS.
Keep threat intelligence feeds current to have

the latest information on DNS threats.
Consider using a DNS security tool that

automatically detects and stops DNS attacks.
DNSSEC is a security solution that
protects against various types of
attacks on the DNS.
It is a set of protocol extensions that

add security features to the DNS,
ensuring that only validated DNS
responses are accepted.
DNSSEC checks digital signatures to

ensure the authenticity and integrity of
DNS data, thereby lowering the chances
of being directed to a malicious website.
LMACS
DNSSEC is a security protocol that digitally
signs DNS records to ensure their
authenticity and prevent unauthorized
modifications or tampering of DNS data
from malicious attacks.
It incorporates cryptographic
mechanisms that add an extra layer
of protection to the DNS.
