In this interview, we sit down with Ross Gibson, an engineer at Infoblox and contributor to the latest NIST guidance on DNS security, to break down what modern DNS protection really looks like. We explore the key differences between DNSSEC, DoH (DNS over HTTPS), DoT (DNS over TLS), and DoQ (DNS over QUIC)—what they do, how they work, and when to use each. We also explore Protective DNS and how it is helping secure systems using analysis on client requests.
Whether you're a network engineer, security analyst, or just looking to deepen your understanding of DNS, this conversation offers practical insights straight from someone helping shape industry best practices.
