CYBERDEFENSE

There is a threat lurking behind every online interaction that was first recognized nearly three decades ago, but very little has been done to fix it. It's only a matter of time before the unimaginable becomes reality -- life without the Internet. The race is on to get ahead of the danger and protect the Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure of the Internet before the worst-case scenario ends the Internet as we know it.

Based on decades of experience acquired by author Craig MacKinder as an information technology and cybersecurity expert, Cyberdefense: Domain Name Systems as the Next Public Utility is a multi-layered, comprehensive, extensively researched solution to the DNS threat. The way out of this imminent peril begins with securing online data by localizing queries to secure municipal DNS servers nationwide.

The DNS is a fundamental and critical part of our global infrastructure, yet most users have no idea what it is, how it works, or how the DNS contributes to the overall stability of the Internet. This book explains the DNS in ways the average reader will easily digest and understand. The menace to Internet security is laid out and then confronted as the pros and cons of the existing partial solutions are explored. Finally, this book delivers an explanation of how local governments will provide universal Internet access to the public as the best mitigation for insecure DNS infrastructure.
