DNS, the cornerstone of Internet navigation, has been dangerously overlooked and poorly taught, leading to an alarming rise in exploitation.
Despite CISA’s 2019 M-19-01 Emergency Directive on DNS Tampering and Abuse, it wasn’t until 17 March 2020 that the National Security Agency grasped its significance, spurred by a wave of attacks on federal agencies and the looming SolarWinds breach.
Prior to this date the National Security Agency had, like the vast majority of organizations, been exposed to DNS Tampering and Abuse along with Insecure servers.
This neglect underscores a critical lesson: securing DNS is non-negotiable for robust cybersecurity. Ignorance is a choice, and in this context, a perilous one.
Cyber adversaries exploit DNS vulnerabilities to devastating effect, infiltrating systems and compromising data. Recent experiences have underscored that while DNS may not always be the initial attack vector, its compromise can be catastrophic.
Agencies like CISA, National Security Agency, and the White House have learned that DNS security is paramount. As the adage goes, fools choose ignorance, and when it comes to DNS, such ignorance invites disaster.
