Digital threats are evolving faster than ever. Companies, large or small, cannot afford to look the other way when it comes to protecting their digital infrastructure. Here is one aspect that is often overlooked, yet is <\/span>key to digital security<\/b>:<\/span> DNS health<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n But what does this mean exactly? And why is it so important to <\/span>control DNS health<\/b> within the strategy of <\/span>business cybersecurity<\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n Before we dive in, let’s make a crucial point. If your company doesn’t yet have <\/span>Continuous Threat Exposure Management<\/b> (CTEM) tools, you may be leaving windows open to the outside without realizing it.<\/span><\/p>\n This is where<\/span> Kartos,<\/b> our solution for<\/span> cyber surveillance for companies,<\/b>specifically designed to detect, assess, and continuously reduce your organization’s digital exposure, appears. Kartos not only monitors your digital attack surface but also allows you to <\/span>protect your DNS<\/b> and detect related vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When discussing DNS health, we refer to the<\/span> security status, configuration, and maintenance of an organization’s domain name system.<\/b> DNS acts as a \u201cphone book\u201d for the internet: it converts domain names (like enthec.com) into IP addresses that machines can understand.<\/span><\/p>\n A secure DNS server isn’t just a technical issue; it’s an essential pillar of your digital defense. Cybercriminals can exploit a misconfigured DNS to carry out attacks such as: <\/span><\/p>\n These risks affect large corporations as well. SMEs are also frequent targets precisely because they neglect aspects like this. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are several reasons, but one of the main ones is the <\/span>false sense of security.<\/b>. Many organizations believe they are protected by having antivirus systems or firewalls. However, these devices do not monitor or manage your domain name system configuration. <\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand,<\/span> DNS is usually managed by third parties <\/b>(such as hosting or domain providers), which means that, despite being a critical element, companies do not include it in their security audits.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Having <\/span>effective DNS control<\/b> means keeping a series of good practices active and up-to-date. These include: <\/span><\/p>\n These steps are essential to ensure a business environment<\/span> free of invisible breaches<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is where<\/span> Kartos<\/b> comes into play. It<\/span> proactively monitors<\/span><\/a> your DNS status and alerts you to any suspicious changes. It’s not just about protecting them but anticipating the future. <\/span><\/p>\n Kartos allows you:<\/span><\/p>\nWhat exactly is DNS health?<\/b><\/h2>\n
