ST. JOHN’S, Mich., March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitLyft, a leading managed detection and response provider (MDR) offering a holistic defense approach, is hosting a free live stream on March 13, 2025, at 4:00 PM on securing LLMNR (Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution), a protocol used for local network name resolution in Windows environments. LLMNR is vulnerable to spoofing attacks, where attackers can intercept and manipulate network traffic to steal credentials or redirect users to malicious sites.
“Cyber threats continue to evolve, and organizations must stay ahead of attackers by securing every layer of their network—including often-overlooked vulnerabilities like LLMNR,” says Jason Miller, Founder and CEO of BitLyft. “At BitLyft, our mission is to provide organizations with proactive, AI-driven cybersecurity solutions that prevent attacks before they happen. We’re excited to share our expertise and help organizations strengthen their defenses against modern cyber threats.”
BitLyft’s Co-Hosted Threat Breakdown live stream brings actionable insights from SOC experts and is an opportunity for IT and security professionals to learn how to:
- Secure LLMNR by disabling it, as attackers can respond to name resolution requests with false IP addresses
- Use DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions), which helps protect domain name resolution by validating the authenticity of DNS responses using cryptographic signatures.
- Divide networks into separate segments to limit the spread of attacks. If an attacker gains access to one part of the network, segmentation prevents them from easily spreading attacks via LLMNR spoofing.
- Monitor and log network traffic to identify suspicious activities.
- Educate and train users.
The Threat Breakdown live stream occurs biweekly on Tuesdays at 11:00 AM ET, however this week’s episode is on Thursday, March 13 at 4:00 PM.
