"The Costs and Damages of DNS Attacks"

EfficientIP has shared findings from its eighth annual 2022 Global DNS Threat Report, conducted by IDC, revealing the significant impact of Domain Name System (DNS) attacks on global organizations' operations over the past year. The report highlights that cybercriminals are still infiltrating networks and causing business disruptions, resulting in the shutdown of cloud and on-premise applications and data theft, despite 73 percent of organizations knowing that DNS security is crucial. As enterprises strive to strike a balance between supporting remote workers and mitigating network security risks posed by the increase in hybrid work models and reliance on cloud applications, the findings reveal that 88 percent of organizations have experienced one or more DNS attacks on their business. A successful attack costs a company $942,000, on average. This article continues to discuss key findings from EfficientIP's 2022 Global DNS Threat Report regarding the costs and damages of DNS attacks.
