Industry Experts Share Perspectives on DNS Security and DNSSEC
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SANTA CLARA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/08/09 --
Infoblox Inc. today announced that it will
host a webinar on Wednesday, June 10th, 2009, including three of the
world's leading authorities on the domain name system (DNS) and network
security.
Many security researchers are expressing growing alarm over the state of
DNS security. Every network professional needs to understand DNS security
and how the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), a suite of
IETF specifications for securing information provided by DNS, may impact
their organization.
Security researcher and webinar presenter Dan Kaminsky commented: "The
lack of DNS security not only makes the Internet vulnerable, but is also
crippling the scalability of important security technologies. DNSSEC
offers the most feasible solution to a serious threat."
And, underscoring the importance of DNS security and DNSSEC, implementation
of DNSSEC is now mandated for U.S. Federal government agencies by December
2009.
In this webinar, presenters will share their perspectives on the latest DNS
security issues and challenges, as well as DNSSEC and where it fits within
an overall DNS security framework. Attendees also will learn about what
they will need to do now and later to plan for DNSSEC adoption.
Webinar presenters to include:
-- Cricket Liu -- Vice President of Architecture for Infoblox and author
of O'Reilly Media's best-selling series of books on DNS;
-- Dan Kaminsky -- Director of Penetration Testing at IO Active who
exposed the "Kaminsky DNS vulnerability" last summer and who is now
advocating implementation of DNSSEC; and
-- Scott Rose -- Lead investigator on the National Institute for
Standards and Technology (NIST) DNSSEC deployment project and the co-author
of the NIST Special Publication 800-81 on secure DNS.
Cricket Liu commented: "With this webinar, we hope that we can inform and
educate IT managers and network administrators about pressing security
concerns and the promise DNSSEC holds for addressing some of the biggest
issues as well as offer some deployment considerations and options."
Scott Rose added: "Addressing the most recent and serious DNS
vulnerabilities requires a globally coordinated effort; I am pleased to
participate in this event to help increase awareness of the issues with the
global DNS and possibilities that DNSSEC offers to help secure the Internet
worldwide."
