Oh no! You’ve been hacked, and you have experts onsite to identify the terrible things done to your organization. It doesn’t take long before the beardy dude or cyber lady says, “Yeah...they used DNS to control compromised hosts and then exfiltrated your data.” As you reflect on this event, you think, “Did I even have a chance against that kind of attack?” Yes, you did because Splunk can be used to detect and respond to DNS exfiltration.

Part of the problem is the nature of the data streams that need to be monitored. Every day, more credentials are stolen and exposed. Illegal criminal forums are full of repeated spamming of illicit advertisements. Thousands of new domain names are registered daily, including many that can be considered typosquatted.

Protecting endpoints is more important than ever, as existing threats like ransomware continue to damage organizations and emerging threats like AI-driven attacks add to the problem. As attackers find new ways to exploit an organization’s vulnerabilities, IT security teams find themselves under pressure to act quickly, often searching for new tools. However, when security solutions are bolted together hastily, problems arise.
