Preventing the Attack - DHCP and DNS for the Win!

Presented at RVAsec 2019, May 22, 2019, 2 p.m. (50 minutes)

When is the best time to prevent something?  BEFORE it happens of course!  This talk will describe the unique abilities of DNS and DHCP to protect your network by preventing potential malicious activity BEFORE it occurs.  Both of these protocols can literally block malicious activity BEFORE it occurs!  As the Internet of Things explodes on all of our networks, and complexity of networks increases, knowing what it on your network is critical.  The increased number of devices, many of which are not in your control, can lead to an increased number of threats to your network.  A simple, centrally controlled mechanism that can control access to ALL devices exists in your network already.  Attend this session to find out how it works.
