Preventing DNS Infrastructure Tampering (IR106)

CISA is proud to offer the cybersecurity awareness webinar, Preventing DNS Infrastructure Tampering (IR106), on Thursday, August 17, 2023, from 11 a.m. to noon EDT.  We are excited to share this information with stakeholders across the federal enterprise and nationally.

The target audience for this webinar are non-technical and beginning incident responders.

The Domain Name System, commonly known as DNS, is often referred to as the “phone book” of the Internet. Every time we access the Internet to visit our favorite websites, we depend on DNS infrastructure to securely route us to our intended destinations. While this shared infrastructure is incredibly useful, it also presents a rich attack surface. Threat actors have the ability to shut down websites and online services, replace legitimate website content with threats or extortion attempts, or even route traffic to a carbon copy of a legitimate website to steal information entered by users.

This webinar includes the following information and more:

• Common attacks and vulnerabilities: Learn how to identify a potential attack on DNS infrastructure.
• CISA guidance: CISA provides information on best practices to reduce the likelihood and impact of a successful DNS attack.
• Case studies: Examine the methods and impacts of real-life cyber-attacks, and how the targets responded and recovered.
• Knowledge checks: The course provides knowledge checks throughout the presentation to reinforce key concepts and takeaways.
