Microsoft's ZTDNS Could Boost Windows Network Security

DNS is one of the biggest weak points in our devices' networking.

Microsoft is now planning some changes to Windows that could make DNS more secure and less vulnerable to tampering.

Historically, enhancing DNS security has often meant sacrificing administrative visibility into online grid traffic.

Microsoft’s ZTDNS integrates the Windows DNS engine and Windows Firewall directly into client devices to overcome this problem.

This creates a powerful domain-name-based lockdown tool.

There are also potential concerns about what might happen when this technology is actually deployed.
