We identify records that are no longer connected to your digital ecosystem, including obsolete entries pointing to non-existent or unauthorised resources.
As your business expands, so does your DNS and over time abandoned records build up, providing dangerous entry points for hijackers.
For example, about.brand.com has a CNAME pointing to sayhellotobrand.com but the company decides to move away from the name sayhellotobrand.com allowing the domain to expire. As about.brand.com still has a CNAME pointing to sayhellotobrand.com, scammers can re-register the domain and configure an SSL certificate, meaning brand.com is now exposed to hosting malicious content.
Our Dangling DNS Audit provides clear visibility of these abandoned records, allowing brands to mitigate these threats and safeguard their networks from potential exploitation
Similarly to our 24/7 Support, API Access, 2FA & SSO, our Dangling DNS Audit is free for new and existing Lexsynergy clients.
We not only provide a report to our clients, we review the results with you, providing recommendations and taking action where required.
Having an organised, up to date DNS management policy mitigates the threat of Dangling DNS and will include regular reviews, audits and record creation/deletion guidelines.
