DNS Under Siege: Unmasking the Infrastructure Behind Modern Cyber Threats

In today’s threat landscape, DNS is no longer just the phonebook of the internet. It’s a battleground. Threat actors are exploiting DNS with unprecedented speed and sophistication, leveraging ephemeral domains, traffic distribution systems (TDS), domain hijacking and adversarial AI to evade detection and scale attacks.

Attendees of this webinar learned about:

• The rise of one-time-use domains and their role in control evasion
• How malicious adtech and TDSs cloak payloads and deceive users
• Real-world case studies of threat actors like VexTrio Viper and Reckless Rabbit
• The impact of adversarial AI on DNS-based threats and detection
• DNS tunneling techniques used for covert C2 and data exfiltration
• Strategies for defenders to leverage DNS intelligence for proactive threat hunting, brand protection and compliance with evolving mandates like NIS2 and NIST SP 800-81 Rev. 3
