In the realm of Digital Security, time, resource & budgets are often equated with productivity & ultimately, Security.

Yet, even if a person could work tirelessly for every one of the 8,760 hours in a year, securing every facet of an organization’s digital infrastructure, a critical oversight could render these efforts futile.

If the DNS servers of an organization, integral to the functioning of the Internet, remain unsecured, the organization remains perpetually exposed and perpetually vulnerable no matter what time, resources, or budgets are in place.

Dr. Paul Mockapetris assertion that “Over 95% of Cyberattacks, Malware, and Bots rely upon DNS” highlights the crucial role DNS security plays.

This scenario underscores a vital truth: security is not about the quantity of effort but the quality of protection. Organizations MUST prioritize securing their DNS infrastructure if they want to shield against the vast majority of Cyberattacks.

Without this focus, all other security measures can become akin to playing a futile game of Digital Whack-a-Mole, addressing surface threats while leaving the core vulnerable.

To truly halt the domino effect of cyber intrusions, a shift towards comprehensive, quality-driven security practices is imperative. By securing DNS, organizations can significantly mitigate their risk, ensuring their security efforts are not in vain.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you Whitehorn Shield enabling Full Discovery, Full Diagnosis, Full Control, and Full Management of your critical Internet Assets including DNS.

Anything less, as my fellow former racing driver Steve McQueen said of Racing – is simply waiting.
