PORTLAND, OR – TouchPoint Networks a leading managed technology services provider (MTSP), is helping small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) protect themselves and their customers from DNS (Domain Name Server) attacks through innovative technology solutions. As businesses around the world continue to migrate to cloud-based technology, and the demand for these solutions continues, the risk of a DNS-based attack grows simultaneously, as well. TouchPoint Networks is actively educating the business community and protecting SMBs from these threats.

Domain Name Servers (DNS) maintain a directory of domain names and translate them to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.

Once the user arrives, they are subject to phishing attacks, malware installation and a whole host of other threats.
