DNS attacks seem to be becoming more prominent, which methods are leading the way?

Since 2023, an increase in DNS flood attacks has been observed by various manufacturers. DNS servers are put under so much strain that they cease to operate and the attacked target is virtually digitally erased.

Which attack vectors cause companies the most difficulties in defending themselves?

The most successful attacks currently take place via the application layer, as this has an extremely high degree of complexity due to a combination of the attack surface (number and distribution of targets) and the technology used (classic web applications, APIs, API-generated websites).
