DNS is cybersecurity's best-kept secret for eliminating threats, says Stuart Reed of Nominet, who explains the value of analyzing traffic.

"The information within DNS and the anomalies that we are able to see within DNS by applying machine learning techniques ... help reduce the window of compromise," he says.

In a video interview at the recent Infosecurity Europe conference, Reed discusses:

The role of machine learning in mitigating risks;
The need to improve visibility;
The results of research on the CISO's role.
