Abstract

Julia Allen: Welcome to CERT's Podcast Series: Security for Business Leaders. The CERT program is part of the Software Engineering Institute, a federally funded research and development center at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

And today specifically Alex and I will be kicking around the Internet Domain Name System and talking in a little bit more detail about its security extensions, which are starting to be used in some organizations and why these security extensions are critical for protecting your organization's digital information and networks and computers.
