Redwood City, CA, November 1, 2005 – Nominum, the leading provider of IP address infrastructure solutions, today announced that Paul Mockapetris, inventor of DNS and Nominum’s chairman and chief scientist will present real solutions and advice on how businesses can secure their DNS and protect themselves from the ever increasing attacks on networks, at Burton Group’s Catalyst Conference Europe, Munich, Germany, November 2-4, 2005.
The domain name system (DNS) is the system that holds the configuration data that translates an IP address into a domain name. DNS is used by millions of users everyday and is mission critical for every web-based service including the sending of email, routing of VoIP calls and displaying web pages on the internet.
This has made the DNS an extremely high value target for hackers in their ongoing quest to shut down networks, or simply impersonate individuals and reallocate their money, read their private thoughts, or just joyride. Attacks that were theoretic a little while ago are now daily occurrences against banks, gambling sites, advertisers, and the general public.
In his presentation, titled: “Practical Protection for Phishing, Pharming and Pollution of your DNS”, Paul will provide insight on measures that can be deployed now to secure the enterprise perimeter, and the vital role service providers can play in keeping their customers safe.
Burton Group‚s Catalyst Conference Europe 2005 will delve into architecture, best practices and technology developments for evolving enterprise infrastructure: application platforms, identity and privacy, networks, and security and risk management. It offers strategies from leading technology providers and best practices from global enterprises and addresses critical topics such as identity management, SOA/web service, VoIP architecture strategies, mobile and wireless, and enterprise risk management. It will feature four conference tracks: Application Platform Strategies; Identity and Privacy Strategies; Network and Telecom Strategies; and Security and Risk Management Strategies. On the final day, the four tracks will converge into two cross-cutting concern sessions that will provide a holistic view of two of the biggest issues facing enterprise IT architects: application and network security.
