Why DNS Threats Should Be On Every CISO's Radar In 2025
HelpNet Security, Tuesday, August 12th, 2025
DNS is once again in the crosshairs of threat actors. According to the 2025 DNS Threat Landscape Report by Infoblox, attackers are changing tactics, and enterprises are feeling the pressure.
The report shows that DNS is being used to exfiltrate data, bypass defenses, and deliver malware. Attacks are also becoming harder to detect. More threat actors are using trusted protocols like HTTPS and DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to hide their tracks.
This shift matters to enterprises because DNS is one of the few protocols that must remain open to function. That makes it a tempting entry point. Most networks depend on it, but few monitor it closely.
