New IDC Report: DNS Threat Intelligence for Proactive Defense
– EfficientIP
The new IDC report released in June 2023 provides an in-depth look at the strategies and tactics organizations are using to protect against modern cyber threats.
From leveraging threat intelligence to deploying next-generation DNS (Domain Name System) technologies, the report offers a comprehensive overview of the market and highlights the key differentiators of the leading providers in the cybersecurity space.
Key Recommendations
80% of organizations today acknowledge that DNS security is critical, but ever-rising costs and impacts of DNS attacks continue to cause severe damage.
To harden network protection, DNS security tools and actionable data must be better utilized.
These enable evolution to proactive defense and early threat detection, as well as bringing secure connectivity for anywhere-working.
In addition, they offer an easy starting point for zero trust, ZTNA, zero-trust edge, and SASE strategies.
Key recommendations described in the report include:
Move to proactive defense by using DNS threat intelligence feeds
Strengthen your security posture with DNS observability
Accelerate threat remediation by integrating DNS data into your security ecosystem

The report provides a detailed evaluation of the/solution and deployment models associated with cyber threat intelligence and their benefits, such as enhancing the visibility and resilience of the networks.
It also looks at the challenges organizations face when combining threat intelligence and DNS technologies.
The report further explores how organizations are faced with digital transformation, such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT).
It is important to note that these are fueling an increased demand for cyber threat intelligence and proactive defense measures.
The report provides insights into the major vendors in the cyber threat intelligence space, such as McAfee, Symantec, CrowdStrike, Carbon Black and Palo Alto Networks.
It examines their distinctive approaches to cyber defense, and offers a detailed analysis of various use cases, such as preventing advanced threats, deep discovery for cyberthreats, malware protection, and zero-day protection.
