The agenda is put together by the ISPCP.

Webinar: DNS Training Session for ISPs: DNS related threats

The sixth session, DNS related threats, is scheduled for Thursday 10 April 2025 from 15:00 to 16:30 UTC. DNS is an open service and, therefore, exposed to vulnerabilities, like any other Internet application. To take any action or decision about how to prevent these vulnerabilities, we must first know them and know what options we have, to resolve or mitigate them. This training will give you an overview of common DNS abuse techniques and explain DNS related protocols, extensions, and best practices on how to prevent or mitigate them during your operations.

Webinar: DNS Training Session for ISPs: The DNS Ecosystem

The fourth session, The DNS Ecosystem, is scheduled for Thursday 23 January 2025 from 15:00 to 16:00 UTC. After gaining a solid technical knowledge from the previous modules, it is time to understand the organizations behind the operations of the Domain Name System. DNS is a globally distributed service with an entire ecosystem that works together to make the Internet work. Understanding the ecosystem is a great way to stay up to date with the latest trends, be prepared if necessary, and improve the service you provide to your customers or users.
