In today’s threat landscape, DNS is no longer just the phonebook of the internet. It’s a battleground. Threat actors are exploiting DNS with unprecedented speed and sophistication, leveraging ephemeral domains, traffic distribution systems (TDS), domain hijacking and adversarial AI to evade detection and scale attacks.

Attendees of this webinar learned about:

• The rise of one-time-use domains and their role in control evasion
• How malicious adtech and TDSs cloaked payloads and deceived users
• Real-world case studies of threat actors like VexTrio Viper and Reckless Rabbit
• The impact of adversarial AI on DNS-based threats and detection
• DNS tunneling techniques used for covert C2 and data exfiltration
• Strategies defenders used to leverage DNS intelligence for proactive threat hunting, brand protection, and compliance with evolving mandates like NIS2 and NIST SP 800-81 Rev. 3

This session offers a deep dive into the hidden infrastructure behind some of the most evasive cyber threats. Whether you're a SOC analyst, threat hunter, or federal cybersecurity leader, this discussion provides actionable insights to help strengthen DNS defenses and stay ahead of adversaries.
