EfficientIP, a programmer of DDI solutions, recently established the industry’s first hybrid vehicle DNS engine in response to the increasing variety of DNS cyber attacks including Denial of Service (DoS) and cache poisoning.

In line with the firm, this strategy provides greater protection to operators, big businesses and ISPs as it removes single point of failure following security alarms, creates an extremely sophisticated security footprint and empowering DNS engines to be changed to shield service availability.

David Williamson, CEO, EfficientIP describes why different strategies are needed to DNS security and what is behind Domain Name Server strikes.

DNS Servers play a fundamental role in handling user access to sites, e-mail and other internet programs, interpreting between domain names and IP address numbers. Because DNS servers are public by design, they can be open to the planet to permit access to a web or a website -based program.

In the final quarter of 2013 26% rose from exactly the same period the year before. The average strike continued 23 hours that have many strikes using up over 100 Gbps of bandwidth.
