DNS Security: DNS Doesn’t Need More Budget, It Needs Board-Level Attention

For many organisations, the Domain Name System (DNS) remains a purely technical concern, until ... it becomes a business-critical failure. A single lapse in DNS management can disrupt services, undermine digital trust, and expose the business to reputational and financial damage.

During this executive round table, Kristof Tuyteleers, CISO at DNS Belgium, will explore why DNS deserves the same strategic oversight as identity management, network security, and supply chain resilience. He will challenge the prevailing notion that DNS is a low-priority, low-cost utility — and show how its mismanagement can silently erode organizational resilience.

This closed-door session will invite CISOs, CIOs, and digital leaders to discuss:

• The intrinsic value of DNS as a core business and security asset.
• The organizational blind spots that lead to fragmented or risky domain management.
• How to align DNS governance, accountability, and lifecycle management with enterprise risk frameworks.
• Practical steps to elevate DNS oversight to an executive and board level.

In a landscape where trust, uptime, and authenticity define brand value, it’s time to recognize DNS for what it truly is, a strategic control point, not a technical afterthought.
