DNS Security Data Exfiltration Workshop

View our on-demand recording enablement security workshop. In June 2020, the NSA Cybersecurity Director said that securing DNS can stop 92% of malware attacks on a network. Next-gen firewalls and endpoint tools have left behind DNS-based security blind spots. This workshop will walk system engineers through the conceptual abstracts of DNS security and bring a hands-on demonstration to enable attendees to test a network for DNS security gaps.

Workshop Focus:

• DNS security
• Methodology of a DNS based cyber-attack
• Training on the fundamentals of DNS security
• Walking attendees through the generation of a DNS based data exfiltration event
• The detection and analysis of such an event

This is an engineer focused event. To facilitate the workshop, the course utilized a Raspberry Pi configured as a DNS Sinkhole to demonstrate the initial concepts of Indicators of Compromise (IoC), DNS blacklists, and threat intelligence.

Attendees were required to configure and install this device to support several labs, where they performed white hat hacking (ethical hacking) to further understand the scope of DNS attacks. The presentation includes relevant material on how Infoblox can prevent and block a vast array of these types of attacks, including many methods outside the scope of this workshop.

Viewing this Infoblox Security On-Demand Workshop will:

• Bring viewers a unique and compelling event that provides an enhanced understanding of DNS security through both-lecture based education and hands on technical training
• Enable viewers the start to develop a skillset to address DNS threats and understand how easily hackers can commit these attacks
• Demonstrate Infoblox's security offerings as the industry-leading solution to stop these attacks
