  • Publication number: 20230069845
    Abstract: The present application describes systems and methods for populating a DNS cache of a recursive DNS server using information gathered by a threat intelligence system. The threat intelligence system may collect some or all DNS responses from one or more recursive DNS servers as the one or more DNS servers process various received requests. Since the threat intelligence engine has access to this DNS data, the DNS data may be used to seed a DNS cache of a recursive DNS server.

  • Publication number: 20220394059
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved DDoS mitigation by utilizing lightweight and tuned mitigation techniques are provided. A lightweight, tuned DDoS system provides protection from DDoS attacks by hosting a container hypervisor on a server that is isolated from other server processes. The container hypervisor may include protection containers and forensic containers. Traffic received at the server is directed through the protection containers to filter out malicious traffic prior to valid traffic being sent to other system processes. The protection containers may be specifically tuned to the service provided by the server. Additionally, malicious traffic may be directed from the protection containers to the forensics containers for extraction of forensic information to be directed to external threat intelligence systems for analysis.
