EfficientIP has published the results of a survey that was conducted for its 2017 Global DNS Threat Survey Report. It explored the technical and behavioural causes for the rise in DNS threats and their potential effects on businesses across the world.
Major issues highlighted by the study, now in its third year, include a lack of awareness as to the variety of attacks; a failure to adapt security solutions to protect DNS; and poor responses to vulnerability notifications. These concerns will not only be subject to regulatory changes, but also create a higher risk of data loss, downtime or compromised reputation.
According to the report, carried out among 1,000 respondents across APAC, Europe and North America, 94 percent of respondents claim that DNS security is critical for this business. Yet, 76 percent of organizations have been subjected to a DNS attack in last 12 months and 28 percent suffered data theft.
