Organizations rely on their own internal Domain Name System (DNS) servers to properly route users to the right computers, applications, and files.
A report released Wednesday by network automation and security provider EfficientIP discusses how DNS is prone to attack and what organizations can do to protect their DNS security.

Based on a survey of 900 technology professions across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, EfficientIP's "2020 Global DNS Threat Report" found that 79% of organizations were hit by DNS attacks in 2019, down slightly from 82% in 2018. The organizations surveyed suffered an average of 9.5 attacks last year, resulting in an average cost of around $924,000 per attack.
