Every software design should strictly adhere to cyber principles. On top of that, I strongly believe any software that is being developed should be “secured from design”. Securing the software right from the design phase off the application , should be the primary design checklist.
Below are few what I can think off additionally from what is posted in the above article.
1. SECURE FROM DESIGN – think about security right from the application design phase.
2. LOAD TESTING – DNS servers should have been tested with a high load in their lower environments (performance), to ensure they can manage heavy traffic.
3. DNS servers on CLOUD – cloud has capabilities of autoscaling when the traffic exceeds the threshold additional servers automatically spin up.
4. FAULT TOLERANCE- DNS servers should also think about fault tolerance. Automatically diverting faulty traffic or vice versa
IOT is being involved more and more in our day to day life and we are not aware of it. This are some good points we should follow to secure the IOT devices.
