Cygna Labs Learning Center

Every enterprise desiring Internet reachability requires a web presence, and every web presence requires accurate and reliable reachability information published within the domain name system (DNS).

The Cygna Security and Compliance solutions are contained in a single tightly integrated platform. The solutions have been designed to simplify the process to quickly address all stages of a cybersecurity incident lifecycle.

This white paper provides an introduction to zero trust, and focuses on the role of network-foundational DHCP-DNS-IPAM (DDI) services in a zero trust deployment.

The VitalQIP product provides several methods to qualify the DHCP server configuration, resulting in various means to control whether a DHCP client can get an IP address lease, what scope that address is assigned from, and what options the client is sent with the DHCPOFFER and DHCPACK messages.

This paper discusses Enterprise Server disaster recovery but also mentions DHCP and DNS disaster recovery.

This white paper provides a brief introduction to the Mitre ATT&CK Framework for Enterprise, while delving deeper into those activities where DNS/DHCP/IPAM (DDI) capabilities can be useful in defense or detection.

This paper discusses the Cygna Labs fingerprinting solution that can be used to provide an additional layer of access control within the VitalQIP product suite for limiting mobile device access in the enterprise network.

This white paper summarizes basic DNS deployment models with respect to functionally separating DNS resolution roles into discrete DNS server implementations.

Continual vigilance of network events is an absolute necessity for network and security engineers to protect against ever evolving cyberthreats.

This paper contains information related to the configuration of both Windows and Linux Azure Virtual Machine environments to support the installation of the VitalQIP remote server and the required VitalQIP configuration for successful DNS and DHCP generations from a VitalQIP E/S to an Azure VitalQIP remote server.

This white paper describes various forms of enterprise DNS attacks and strategies you can employ to mitigate these attacks.

This white paper highlights core PCI requirements as of version 3.1, and summarizes how Cygna Labs IPAM solutions comply.

NIST’s CSF facilitated communications within and external to an organization when conveying security goals, maturity status, improvement plans and risks.

As a critical network service, DNS resiliency is paramount, and can be achieved in a variety of ways.

This white paper is intended to help you learn about IPv6. We begin with an overview of the key benefits of IPv6, then delve into the details of IPv6 addressing and allocation.

This white paper provides IT professionals a guide for how to effectively execute IPAM tasks and recommends best practices for simplifying the IPAM process.

This white paper describes the process for formulating internationalized domain names and related IDNA administration issues and solutions.

DNSSEC adds signature data in the form of additional resource records, and enables validation of signatures using the domain tree as the signature trust model as we explain in this white paper.

This white paper provides a basic overview of DNS query and response flows within and external to your organization to enumerate key deployment approaches to maximize your protections while adhering to your budget requirements. Scenarios include premises-based DNS firewall deployment, optionally supplemented with cloud-based DNS security solutions.

This white paper highlights key ITIL areas as applied to IP address management (IPAM), and the benefits that can be realized by using this management framework.

This white paper reviews several address assignment scenarios and describes how you can automate your IP and DNS management processes.

This white paper offers an introduction to DNS anycast, how it works, and the benefits and challenges of deployment.

This white paper discusses potential nefarious uses of DNS by malware and solutions you can deploy to protect your users and your network.
