Webinar: Emerging DNS Abuse Trends and Mitigation Strategies

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)'s Technical Engagement Team is excited to announce a series of training sessions in collaboration with the Internet Service Providers and Connectivity Providers (ISPCP) Constituency and the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC). These sessions are aimed at both technical and non-technical individuals and will focus on topics related to the Domain Name System (DNS). The sessions are intended for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) worldwide. They will be conducted online and in person at ICANN meetings in convenient time zones.

This session, Emerging DNS Abuse Trends and Mitigation Strategies, is scheduled for Wednesday, February 11, 2026, starting at 11:30 AM UTC. Threat actors are evolving, and DNS abuse - from phishing and malware to botnets - is becoming more sophisticated. This session explores current abuse patterns, mitigation frameworks, and cross-community efforts to strengthen DNS resilience.
