DNS Vulnerability: Patch Now or Pay Later    
 
Plus: Best Practices for Microsoft DNS/DHCP  
 
Dear Colleagues -  
 
Have you looked at the news lately? DNS exploits are now well known and it  
is more critical than ever to understand EXACTLY how they expose your  
applications. Core network services - like DNS, DHCP, and IPAM -are critical 
 
to network uptime and application support, yet they rarely receive the  
attention given to other areas of the network. The loss of DNS service can  
cripple Microsoft Active Directory and can bring most other network  
applications to a halt. Interruptions to DHCP services can make it  
impossible for PCs, IP phones and other devices to connect to the network.  
 
Join DNS expert Cricket Liu for an interactive discussion on the very latest 
 
information about recently discovered flaws in DNS software, plus a session  
on best practices architecture for DNS and DHCP, specifically for Microsoft  
environments. Together, we will:  
 
*Sort through the latest announcements about Dan Kaminskys DNS findings;  
details on how cache poisoning really works, why it matters, and what you  
should be doing about it  
*Discuss challenges in Microsoft DNS/DHCP management, auditing, and  
reporting - and evaluate options  
*Discuss the inadequacies of the Microsoft DNS and DHCP solutions for  
enterprise-class management  
*Develop an action plan for deploying these practices in your own  
environment

Microsoft Conference Center, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 6th Floor, New
