DNSSEC 101 - DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) is the security update that all DNS servers should implement. From a resolution point of view, today, the cost is practically zero and from an authoritative server’s point of view there are many good practices and examples that you can follow while implementing it in the way that is most convenient for you. This globally adopted protocol is a consensus-based best practice that all ISPs should adopt. This webinar explains how the protocol works.

The DNS Ecosystem - After gaining a solid technical knowledge from the previous modules, it is time to understand the organizations behind the operations of the Domain Name System. DNS is a globally distributed service with an entire ecosystem that works together to make the Internet work. Understanding the ecosystem is a great way to stay up to date with the latest trends, be prepared if necessary, and improve the service you provide to your customers or users.

DNS related threats - DNS is an open service and, therefore, exposed to vulnerabilities, like any other Internet application. To take any action or decision about how to prevent these vulnerabilities, you must first know them and know what options we have, to resolve or mitigate them. This training will give an overview of common DNS abuse techniques and explain DNS related protocols, extensions, and best practices on how to prevent or mitigate them during your operations.
