CommunityDNS Completes Study on DNS Resilience
Chosen by the DNS Infrastructure Resilience Task Force (DIR), CommunityDNS is pleased to finalize its part in the European Commission’s study regarding DNS resilience for the EU and its Member States. Officially titled, “Initiative for the Development and Coordination of Technologies and Methodologies for Resilience of the DNS Infrastructure in and among European Union Member States” the study was commissionedand partially funded by the Prevention, Preparedness and Consequence Management of Terrorism and other Security Related Risks Programme; European Commission – Directorate-General Justice, Freedom and Security.
Along with a comprehensive examination as to the “why” and “how” DNS may be impacted the report also highlights the region’s online economy. The report concludes with a comprehensive list of recommendations, such as incorporating platform diversity through proprietary and open source managed providers to ensure DNS resilience.
Included within the deliverable is a fully functional, highly-secure information-sharing platform geared to support secure information sharing regarding cyber incidents. The audience for the information sharing platform are:
Organisations forming the EU’s Internet substructure
- ccTLDs and registries
- Registrars
- Hosting companies
- ISPs
- IXPs
- DNS service providers
Cyber crime-focused organizations
- CERTs
- The Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence
- The European Electronic Crime Task Force
- Centre for Secure Information Technologies
Law enforcement (cyber crime-focused)
Key individuals representing organisations in the EU’s highly important ISAC, or infrastructure sectors.
The Information-Sharing platform serves as an information repository, an information aggregator, a DNS monitoring platform and a comprehensive alert system. Cyber-security incidents are captured and recorded as they unfold, providing a platform whereby cyber disaster recovery plans may also be exercised. “Trust”, “Security” and “Flexibility” form the Platform’s foundation as the Platform allows for the sharing of sensitive information based upon individual permission rights and classification levels.
Access to the report will be available once the EC has posted the link on their site. If you are an EU-based ccTLD you may contact CommunityDNS to receive your complimentary copy.
