Case Study: Federal Agency DNS Security Assessment

Challenge

A federal agency with 10,000+ employees needed NIST framework aligned DNS security testing to meet FISMA requirements and protect classified information systems.

Critical Findings

  • • DNS infrastructure vulnerable to nation-state attacks
  • • Inadequate segmentation between classified and unclassified networks
  • • Missing DNSSEC implementation on critical domains
  • • Insufficient monitoring for advanced persistent threats

Results

  • • 100% FISMA compliance achievement
  • • Enhanced protection against nation-state threats
  • • Improved incident response capabilities
  • • Strengthened critical infrastructure security

National Security Impact

Enhanced protection of classified information and critical government services with zero disruption to mission-critical operations.
