&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;Speaker:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Mr. Paul Danis, Solutions Engineer SLED - Great Lakes&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;Title:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Securing DNS based on NIST SP 800-81 Revision 3&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;Summary:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical enterprise service and a common target for cyber-attacks. &lt;strong&gt;NIST SP 800‑81 Revision 3&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Secure Domain Name System (DNS) Deployment Guide&lt;/em&gt;, provides updated guidance for securing DNS infrastructure in modern, cloud‑enabled and zero trust environments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;This presentation summarizes key updates in Rev. 3, including role‑based DNS security architectures, deployment of &lt;strong&gt;DNSSEC&lt;/strong&gt;, use of &lt;strong&gt;encrypted DNS (DoT and DoH)&lt;/strong&gt;, and adoption of &lt;strong&gt;Protective DNS&lt;/strong&gt; for threat prevention and detection. It also addresses DNS logging, monitoring, and resilience as part of a defense‑in‑depth strategy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;Hear how to apply NIST’s recommendations to strengthen DNS security, improve visibility, and reduce enterprise risk.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Led by: Merit Network&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Lunch Sponsored by:&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://bsasoftware.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="https://mi-gmis.org/resources/Pictures/vendor%20logos/bsa-logo.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mi-GMIS is pleased to offer a Cybersecurity Tabletop Exercise to GMIS members at a reduced cost.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this workshop Merit will provide a simulated cybersecurity &lt;em&gt;incident&lt;/em&gt; tabletop exercise whereby participants will walk through the various stages of an incident, including identification, containment, eradication, and recovery. This workshop will showcase the realistic and frequently unpredictable natures of cybersecurity incidents and teaches participants how to be dynamic and address a multitude of organizational challenges which present themselves during an incident.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This exercise comes highly recommended by Mi-GMIS members that have attended previous exercises.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are limited slots for active participants, as well as observers.&amp;nbsp; As such, limit your organization's attendance in order to keep slots open for other organizations.&amp;nbsp; Please register for the participation level(s) that you're interested in. After successful registration, if you cannot attend, it is imperative that you cancel well-ahead of the event. This will allow another member to attend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your desired participation level is full, waitlist yourself.&amp;nbsp; As open slots become available through cancellations, you will be notified of openings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You must be logged into the site, in order to complete your registration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Non-board members will be prioritized over board members.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Exercise starts at 10 am, sharp.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Break for lunch at Noon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Exercise resumes at 1 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please note that photographs and video may be taken during the tabletop exercise. By participating, you acknowledge that you may appear in promotional or marketing materials produced by Merit Network.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
