DNS resolvers must be highly resilient to malicious activity like DoS attacks and cache poisoning. Akamai CacheServe delivers enduring defenses.

Security researchers discovered and contained a major vulnerability in the Domain Name Service that posed a significant internet threat.

The cyber exposure of small and medium-sized businesses transcends their size. So, Akamai is partnering with Comcast Business to help protect SMBs from threats.

The presence of public "over the top" DNS resolution alternatives is a strong motivator for ISPs to invest in making their DNS resolution infrastructure the best that it can be. Resolvers are the glue that binds subscribers to their fixed and mobile broadband services. Operators of public DNS services will play a significant role in controlling the user experience and gain goodwill if they succeed in persuading subscribers to use their resolvers. Worse, when public DNS services fail, it's probable that subscribers will blame their service provider because they may not understand the critical role DNS plays, or may not even remember they switched their DNS settings!
