As one of the oldest and most relied-on protocols of the modern Internet, DNS is utilized by almost all other services and protocols, making DNS a highly appealing target to attackers. The Domain Name System (DNS) is ubiquitous, underpinning virtually every interaction on the Internet. Welcome to the Infoblox DNS Security Resource Center! 1. The center includes a DNS security overview, as well as sections on DNS security issues & threats, DNSSEC solutions, best practices, DNS client security, and frequently asked questions. Consequently, Infoblox has created this resource center as a tool to explain the basics of DNSSEC, DNS security more broadly, and to provide additional resources for further learning and application. The process of securing DNS can be complicated. DNSSEC addresses this oversight by adding DNS security protocols that enhance security while maintaining backward compatibility. Unfortunately, the original design of the Domain Name System (DNS) did not include security considerations. This makes DNS an appealing target to attackers.

DNS is one of the oldest and most relied-on protocols of the modern Internet and is utilized by almost all other Internet services and protocols.

DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) are the suite of IETF specifications for securing DNS (DNS Security).
