Cybercriminals are evolving. Increasingly, they are capitalizing on the open and unprotected nature of the Domain Name System (DNS) to launch damaging phishing, malware, and ransomware attacks. How are you proactively protecting your network and users from these targeted threats? Here are five things to ask yourself as you consider a DNS security solution for your company.

With the constant drumbeat of news reports about security breaches, cyber security is hard to ignore. Organizations understand that they need comprehensive security solutions, yet significant gaps remain. Malicious actors have evolved their methods to leverage the vulnerabilities of the Domain Name System (DNS), and attacks that utilize this vector are increasing in number.

DNS is a well-worn data exfiltration and communication vector. Explore why targeted threats continue to use the DNS protocol to exfiltrate sensitive information, how it’s done, and what might be next in the evolution of this attack vector.

Examine the business impact of malware, ransomware, and phishing, as well as the cost of the average data breach. Given the significant economic impact of these threats, understanding your financial exposure and employing a layered defense simply makes sense.

De nos jours, les auteurs d'attaques, toujours plus inspirés, utilisent des outils automatisés pour puiser des informations sur leurs cibles dans les profils — souvent publics — disponibles sur les médias sociaux. Ils savent donc où vous travaillez. De même, le poste que vous occupez, vos centres d'intérêt, vos loisirs, votre situation matrimoniale ou encore vos précédents emplois n'ont plus aucun secret pour eux. Ils se servent de ces informations pour élaborer des messages convaincants qui vous incitent à cliquer sur une pièce jointe ou une URL malveillante. Si vous tombez dans le piège, une charge active malveillante est injectée dans votre système.

Angreifer gehen heute kreativ vor und nutzen automatisierte Tools, um in Profilen bei sozialen Netzwerken (die häufig öffentlich zugänglich sind) nach Informationen über ihre Opfer zu suchen. Die Angreifer wissen daher, wo Sie arbeiten (und in welcher Position), ob Sie verheiratet sind und wo Sie in der Vergangenheit gearbeitet haben. Sie kennen Ihre Interessen, Hobbys und viele weitere Details. All diese Informationen werden zum Verfassen äußerst überzeugender E-Mail-Nachrichten verwendet, die Sie zum Klicken auf eine schädliche URL oder angehängte Datei verleiten sollen. Und sobald Sie geklickt haben, werden die Schaddaten auf Ihrem System abgelegt.

Combating the Attack of Choice for Cybercriminals

Aided by their targets' porous defenses and unwitting end users, today's cybercriminals are able to deliver advanced malware that exploits systems and enables a range of malicious activities.

Human targeted attacks continued to lead the pack in 2016. Attackers’ used automation and personalisation to increase the volume and click-through rates of their campaigns. Taking a page from the B2B e-marketer’s playbook, cyber criminals are adopting marketing best practices and sending their campaigns on Tuesdays and Thursdays when click-through rates are higher. Meanwhile, BEC and credential phishing attacks targeted the human factor directly--no technical exploits needed. Instead, they used social engineering to persuade victims into sending money, sensitive information and account credentials. Timing is everything—attackers know that hitting your employees with a well-crafted email at the just the right time produces the best results. Of course, this varies by region. So if you are responsible for worldwide SecOps, you need visibility into not only attack patterns but also when and which employees tend to click.
