Audit your DNS Today to Avoid Serious Security Incidents.

Is it Working? Has Anyone Complained? There Is Much More to a DNS Audit.
Many companies are taking the same short-sighted approach to managing and auditing their existing DNS infrastructure: If it’s working, and no users are complaining, then DNS must be fine. As a result, often a DNS audit goes something like this: Is it working? Check.

With this simplistic approach to a DNS audit, critical aspects of the DNS infrastructure are overlooked, opening up potential mis-configuration, disaster recovery, security, and compliance challenges.

Some of these logs can grow quickly into very large files. While the disk space they occupy is not as important as it used to be in this world of inexpensive, one terabyte disks, the ability to quickly and easily extract important information can be negatively impacted by these excessively large files.
