How Internal Dysfunction is Putting Your Network at Risk

In a recent report by IDG, it was found that 86% of organizations have suffered repercussions, including increased security breaches and data loss, due to lack of collaboration between these two departments.

Key Takeaways
  • Lack of shared DNS visibility between network and security teams limits the ability to detect anomalies, threats, and misuse in real time.
  • Security teams’ need to investigate and pivot on DNS data often conflicts with network teams’ priority to maintain stability and uptime.
  • Uncoordinated or ad hoc security-driven DNS changes can unintentionally disrupt critical network services and business applications.
  • Operational silos between network and security functions slow incident response and reduce the overall effectiveness of security controls.
  • Establishing controlled, role-based access to DNS data allows security teams to analyze and hunt threats without directly modifying production configurations.
  • Implementing clear governance, workflows, and tooling around DNS change management helps align network reliability requirements with security investigation needs.

Network teams and security teams don’t always see eye to eye. Security teams want access to DNS information so they can search for anomalies and patterns. Network teams don’t want the security team making changes which would impact network uptime. In this video, we run through the negative impact this divide has on networks, and what you can do about it.
