Forensic investigation using DNS for faster incident response

In this video, learn how BlueCat DNS Edge provides investigative insight and faster responses for security breaches and helps reduce attack surfaces.

Forensic Findings
Key Takeaways
  • DNS query and response data can be used as a forensic source to quickly identify infected clients and suspicious communications during an incident.
  • Centralized visibility into DNS activity helps pinpoint potentially breached services and data sources impacted by an attack.
  • Correlating DNS traffic patterns with incident timelines enables faster identification of the origination point of a breach.
  • Fine-grained DNS policy controls allow teams to take targeted mitigation actions based on investigation findings.
  • Continuous DNS monitoring supports reducing the overall attack surface by exposing and blocking malicious domains and behaviors.

When a security incident occurs, incident response teams have to quickly get to the root of the issue – identifying infected clients, potentially-breached services, or data sources.

This video demonstrates the forensic value of DNS Edge to provide investigative insight, faster and more focused responses, and the ability to reduce attack surfaces. Watch as we demonstrate a comprehensive investigation of a breach, identifying the origination point and taking action to further protect the network.
