Amazon Route 53 Global Resolver: Secure Anycast DNS Preview

🌐Amazon announced the preview of Amazon Route 53 Global Resolver, an internet-reachable DNS resolver that offers secure, anycast-based resolution for authorized clients worldwide. It supports split DNS for public domains and Route 53 private hosted zones and integrates DNS Firewall rules to block threat categories, malicious content, and advanced DNS attacks while logging queries centrally. Global Resolver provides high availability via selection of two or more regions for anycast resolution with automatic failover, and AWS will rename the existing Route 53 Resolver to Route 53 VPC Resolver to clarify the difference.

Route 53 Adds Protection Against Dictionary DGA Attacks

🛡️ Amazon Web Services has added Dictionary-based DGA detection to Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall Advanced, enabling real-time monitoring and blocking of domain queries that use word-based DGA techniques designed to mimic legitimate names. Administrators can create DNS Firewall Advanced rule(s) targeting Dictionary DGA and add them to rule groups to enforce protections on VPCs directly or through AWS Firewall Manager, RAM, CloudFormation, or Route 53 Profiles. The capability is available in all AWS Regions, including AWS GovCloud (US). See the Route 53 documentation for setup and pricing details.
