Foundations of DNS Security with Andreas Taudte | The Defender's Log

Описание: Let’s take a moment to talk about the invisible path.

We spend so much time looking at the flashy new threats, the latest ransomware headlines, and the noise of the industry. But sometimes, we have to go back to the foundation. We have to go back to the plumbing of the internet.

In this conversation, I had the privilege of sitting down with Andreas Taudte to discuss a simple, yet profound truth: Predictability is security.

Ask yourself this question: When a device on your network asks a question—when it sends a query out into the void—do you know where the answer is coming from? Do you know the path it takes?

If you cannot predict the path, you cannot trust the connection.

Andreas shares wisdom here that every network admin, CISO, and IT leader needs to hear. We aren't just talking about uptime; we are talking about resilience. We are talking about knowing your infrastructure so well that you can spot the anomaly before it becomes a breach.

We also touch on a favorite joke in our industry: "It’s always DNS." But as we discuss, the protocol is solid. The BIND patches are rare. The protocol holds the line. The question is, is your management of that protocol living up to the standard?

Don’t settle for a "black box" network where things just happen. Take control. Demand predictability. Because when we shape the internet, rather than letting it shape us, we win.

In this video, we cover:
00:00 – The Golden Advice: Why DNS resolution must be predictable.
01:05 – The Minimum Criteria: Assessing your DNS infrastructure and knowing the path.
02:43 – The "Zed" vs. "Zee" debate and building a scorecard for resilience.
03:40 – The Truth: It was never the DNS protocol; it was the management.
04:14 – Closing thoughts and the value of honest feedback.
