DNS may be known as the “phone book of the internet,” but it’s quickly becoming one of the most exploited layers of enterprise infrastructure.

Key insights include:
- 40% of enterprises experienced a DDI-related security breach in the past two years
- Malicious redirection and DNS abuse rank among top security concerns
- Visibility, automation, and cross-team ownership are essential to improving DNS security posture
The takeaway: DNS isn’t just networking plumbing, it’s a frontline cybersecurity asset.
