VIDEO – MAR 10 NARALO Roundtable – DNS Abuse and AI: Combatting and Enabling Threats

isoc live

isoc liveMonday 10 March 2025,  the North American Regional At-Large Organization (NARALO) presented a roundtable ‘DNS Abuse and AI: Combatting and Enabling Threats‘ at ICANN82 in Seattle. This session aimed to better understand the emerging capabilities of AI in pattern analysis and machine learning to either prevent or promote DNS abuse, in particular approaches to detecting anomalies, leveraging machine learning for system protection, and addressing broader abuse issues that can inform DNS-specific challenges, and the impact that this may have on individual end-users of the internet as it relates to user privacy and overall functioning of the DNS. This video has been lightly edited for clarity.

WEBCAST NOV 28 – topDNS Best Practice Series: DNSAI Compass Dashboards – Benchmarking the prevalence and persistence of malware and phishing

isoc.live

isoc.liveOn Tuesday November 28, 2023 at 17:00 CET (16:00 UTC) the DNS Abuse Institute and eco’s topDNS Initiative host a webinar ‘topDNS Best Practice Series: DNSAI Compass Dashboards – Benchmarking the prevalence and persistence of malware and phishing‘. This is the fifth in a series of topDNS best practice webinars to showcase what the domain name industry is doing to fight DNS abuse.

DNSAI Compass (“Compass”) has been measuring and reporting on the persistence and prevalence of phishing and malware in registrar and Top Level Domain (TLD) zones for over a year. The project reports on general abuse trends across the entire DNS ecosystem, including mitigation rates, and whether the registration was compromised or malicious.

In June 2023 Compass began ‘Specific Reporting’, which is intended to show the spectrum of how malicious phishing and malware is concentrated across the DNS registration ecosystem. It identifies registrars and TLDs with higher and lower relative volumes of malicious domain registration in their Domains Under Management (DUM), or new registrations.

WEBCAST AUG 10 – topDNS Best Practice Series: How to investigate Online Abuse with Free Tools

isoc.live

isoc.liveOn Thursday August 10 2023 at 17:00pm CEST (15:00 UTC) Realtime Register and eco’s topDNS Initiative host a webinar ‘topDNS Best Practice Series: How to investigate Online Abuse with Free Tools‘. This is the third in a series of topDNS best practice webinars to showcase what the domain name industry is doing to fight DNS abuse.

The webinar is aimed at beginners but is also interesting for advanced abuse desk managers, and will show an approach to get started quickly using free tools, so that abuse service staff can take action and understand some basic techniques . This is not intended to encourage a ‘do-it-yourself’ approach over the use of commercial products. However, a basic knowledge of investigations and processes involved is useful for anyone working in the field of online abuse mitigation.

WEBCAST JUL 13 – topDNS Best Practice Series: Standards and Frameworks for Evidencing Abuse Online

isoc live

isoc liveOn Thursday July 13 2023 at 17:00 CEST (15:00 UTC) CleanDNS and eco’s topDNS Initiative host a webinar ‘topDNS Best Practice Series: Standards and Frameworks for Evidencing Abuse Online‘. This is the second in a series of topDNS best practice webinars to showcase what the domain name industry is doing to fight DNS abuse.

Fighting abuse online is first and foremost a matter of taking appropriate action, taken by the appropriate party, taken at the appropriate time. Speaking of time, reducing the uptime of maliciously used domain names is crucial. But how can the decision-making process be standardized to make clear decisions, make the decision-making process scalable and also balance the expectations between the sender and the receiver of abuse reports? Jeffrey Bedser, CEO of CleanDNS will explain how standardized evidencing allows for rapid correlation and mitigation of abused domains by the appropriate party, how evidencing thresholds can be established and how online harms can be addressed via standardized evidence packages.
