D-Link Systems said Wednesday that it is now incorporating DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) into its home networking routers to help consumers defend against the rising assault of worms, viruses, hacking and other malicious Web attacks. Previously the company improved router security by adding Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) to models DIR-615, DIR-625, DIR-628, DIR-655, DIR-825, DIR-855, DIR-685, and DGL-4500. "Unlike other brands, the majority of currently shipping D-Link routers are more difficult to be compromised due to our advanced set of security features," said A.J. Wang, chief technology officer, D-Link. "We're excited to be the first in the market to announce we have taken the initiative to implement both CAPTCHA and DNSSEC into our routers, thus providing yet another layer of security, and we'll continue to provide our users with the latest in advanced security technologies."
