All TLD Registries operate IT infrastructure (servers, network, etc.) to support
their operations. As a TLD is a critical resource, it is essential that it not only
operate 24x7, but also provide correct information. A TLD is an attractive attack
target, as not only will disrupting the operations of a TLD effect an entire country
but, by modifying domain record, an attacker can completely take over a domain.
This course will cover the threats to and possible attacks on your registry
infrastructure including the DNS systems, DNS data, registration systems and other
registry systems. It will cover how to set up your systems in a secure and reliable
manner, monitor your systems, threats and mitigation techniques, access control,
system monitoring, etc. Case studies and discussions will be used to enhance
participation.
This course is intended for technical persons who are responsible for the setting up
an operation of registry infrastructure, and participants are expected to have a
basic knowledge of systems and network administration.
