MEDIA ALERT: Dr. Paul Vixie to Introduce New Research About Domain Lifetimes at Virus Bulletin International Conference (#VB2018) Montreal

SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

What:  
Industry pioneer and Farsight Security co-founder and CEO, Dr. Paul Vixie, will share new research, “The Modality of Mortality in Domain Names,” on Friday, October 5th at the 28th annual Virus Bulletin International Conference (#VB2018). The study is the first complete, systemic study on what happens to domains once they have been registered, delegated and used for the first time.

New domain names that are treated as “disposable” can be used by bad actors for cyber-crime activities such as spamming, phishing, malware distribution and more. “The Modality of Mortality in Domain Names” uncovered the first seven days of life of 23.8M new domains and measured them over a period of six months from a global Internet perspective to identify what fraction of them are suspended, deleted or effectively ‘killed.’
               
Dr. Vixie will lead session attendees through a four-stage methodology and the outcomes of the study, which highlights the need for a secure DNS policy in a computer network.
