Upcoming webinar with Farsight Security
DNS over HTTPS, or DoH, is arguably the most popular encryption protocol—but how did we get here? How do we know this is the best option for us? We will be teaming up with Farsight Security on a webinar as we dive into the history of DNS encryption.
Our own Domain Intelligence Lead Peter Lowe from DNSFilter and Farsight Security’s CEO and co-founder Paul Vixie answer questions on the following:
- The rise in popularity of DoH
- What other DNS encryption options are out there, and how they compare
- What the future holds for the future of DNS encryption and the remaining unencrypted aspects of the Domain Name system
Don’t miss out as we go over what the future could look like and answer any other questions you might have.
