Biography
Dr Siôn Lloyd is a member of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN’s) Internet identifiers Security, Stability and Resiliency Team.
Siôn’s work is currently focused on understanding the ways in which bad actors are making use of the global COVID-19 pandemic to promote their campaigns; specifically around the misuse of the Domain Name System (DNS).
He has worked in the domain name industry for over 20 years and has been researching the use and misuse of DNS from a security point of view for much of that time. He has seen how the DNS can be used in attack and defence and how it can be made more secure; even for those people who have never heard of it and don’t realise that they are using it.
