Cybercriminals use Domain Name System (DNS) to execute a range of malicious campaigns at various stages of the kill chain. This exploitation is often successful because organizations frequently don’t consider DNS from a security context, creating a gap that attackers readily exploit. For instance, cybercriminals:  

- Use C2 (Command and Control) to communicate with external servers and receive malicious commands to execute  
- Utilize DNS tunneling to exfiltrate data from within networks as part of campaigns like Ransomware  
- Setup Traffic Distribution Systems (TDS) to more efficiently deliver malware to victims  
- Leverage various DNS record types to avoid detection by security tools that only monitor some of the record types 
- Create lookalike domains that could impersonate organizations, deceiving customers, partners and suppliers 
- Register zero-day DNS domains to launch targeted spear phishing attacks within minutes 

Many of these activities go unnoticed by traditional security approaches, resulting in prolonged dwell times, lateral spread of malicious activity and costly data breaches. 

In this Coffee Chat, we will explore the myriad ways DNS is abused by threat actors and discuss proactive measures that organizations can implement to protect their users and data.

Coffee Chat with Cricket and Krupa: All the Ways Threat Actors Abuse DNS

The rapid expansion of hybrid and multi-cloud environments demands agile and robust solutions to ensure business continuity and security. This evolving landscape offers a unique chance to innovate and stay ahead of the curve by mastering the latest trends in DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI) and more. 

Join us for this webinar where we will examine the innovations shaping the future of DDI and discuss how these priorities can enhance your networking and security strategy in 2025 and beyond. 

· Examine key DDI trends that organizations should watch as cloud adoption continues to increase. 

· Recognize the importance of unified management and visibility for critical network services. 

· Learn practical strategies to effectively optimize your operations across hybrid, multi-cloud networks.

Stay Ahead in 2025: Five Strategic Priorities for Critical Network Services

While the masses obsess over Generative AI, modern enterprise security teams struggle to understand the myriad ways AI can be implemented now and in the future. First, SecOps must find ways to mitigate associated risks to enable the safe adoption of various AI or AI-enabled tools. However, they also struggle to identify how to effectively leverage AI within their own security environment to uplift security operations and enhance the overall security profile.  

Join us to review the potential benefits and likely risks of adopting various AI in various forms, along with practical risk mitigation recommendations. We will also share examples of how AI is benefiting security professionals in threat detection and response.

The Security Implications of AI

As multi-cloud adoption rises, organizations increasingly face challenges managing disparate systems across hybrid, multi-cloud networks. This trend complicates the management of critical network services like DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (DDI), as organizations must manage separate DDI services for each provider or deployment.  

Join Chief Evangelist Cricket Liu for this 3-part series on how to tackle the complexities of managing critical network services in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Each session will provide insights and practical solutions to streamline operations, enhance visibility, and optimize costs.  

For the final part of this series explore NIOS-X as a Service, the industry’s first-of-its-kind infrastructure-free deployment model for critical network services.  

Key Benefits: 
- Infrastructure Modernization: Modernize on-premises DNS services through rapid deployment.  
- Multi-Cloud Simplification: Streamline multi-cloud DNS services by consolidating cloud-native services into a unified solution.

Radical Simplicity: Deploy Critical Network Services in Minutes

As ‘Shadow IT’ adoption continues to explode, more organizations are pursuing more formal adoption processes so they can better understand the use cases, assess the associated risks, and identify appropriate mitigation measures. This Infoblox webinar will provide an overview of key risks and risk management options related to adopting the various forms in which AI can appear.  The event will also highlight opportunities for AI within security operations from automating redundant tasks to identifying threat activity missed at the point-solution level by analyzing massive amounts of security and network data. 

Topics to be discussed include: 
- Who to consider for your AI adoption team and their roles 
- Impactful mitigation options using available processes and technologies 
- Useful highlights from the latest “SANS 2024 AI in Security Survey” 
- How AI can help the SOC from reducing alerts to speeding response
