DNS Security Management, authored by Michael Dooley, offers a comprehensive exploration of Domain Name System (DNS) security. This first edition from the IEEE Press Series on Network and Service Management was published on July 6, 2017. The book delves into the operational aspects of DNS, identifies its vulnerabilities, and provides fundamental security measures along with mitigation strategies.

The text adopts a role-based security approach to address various threats facing Domain Name Systems (DNS). It introduces readers to the essential functions of DNS while highlighting numerous vulnerabilities that can compromise its integrity. Dooley’s expertise is evident in his presentation of practical methods for identifying and neutralizing these common threats.

Comprehensive in its coverage, DNS Security Management explains how to secure DNS resolution through the implementation of Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC). Additionally, it delves into security applications facilitated by DNS, including anti-spam techniques, SPF, DANE, and related CERT/SSHFP records.

The book distinguishes itself by providing tailored security approaches for different types of DNS deployments based on roles such as recursive vs. authoritative servers. It also covers essential components like DNS resolvers, discussing host access protections, DHCP configurations, and DNS recursive server IP addresses. Furthermore, it examines DNS data collection, analytics, and detection strategies to enhance overall network security.

For those seeking in-depth knowledge about securing their DNS infrastructures, DNS Security Management is an invaluable resource.
