Nominum Protects Internet Users from New DNS Vulnerability

Nominum says that more than 120 million broadband Internet users are protected against the new DNS vulnerability as Nominum helped its carrier and Internet Service Provider customers upgrade their networks with the latest Nominum DNS software.

This success highlights the unique role Nominum and its software play in protecting the Internet, and resulted from the strong partnership Nominum has with over 100 carriers worldwide. The new software adds additional security measures, including UDP Source Port Randomization, to an already rich set of security measures that have been designed to protect global broadband subscribers from DNS cache poisoning and pharming attacks.

Nominum supplies its DNS software to the world's largest networks that include most major cable operators, DSL broadband carriers and Internet service providers around the world. The company's DNS software is used by nearly half the global wired Internet broadband users.
