Description

DNS is more than a protocol—it’s a powerful, often overlooked security control. As Protective DNS gains traction with standards like NIST SP 800-81 and support from CISA, MSSPs have a unique opportunity to leverage it for layered defense. This session explores DNS’s emerging role in proactive cybersecurity, from surfacing early indicators of compromise to aiding attribution and accelerating incident response. Learn how MSSPs can integrate Protective DNS into existing service portfolios, offering customers enhanced visibility and preemptive security with minimal overhead. Attendees will leave with practical insights into deployment, threat detection use cases, and how DNS activity can serve as a critical signal across the security ecosystem.
