DNSSEC helps prevent DNS attacks like DNS cache poisoning and DNS spoofing. DNSSEC does not protect the entire server, it only protects the data exchanged between signed zones. For memory, DNSSEC is not providing privacy.

Do I need DNSSEC?

How does a DNSSEC-capable DNS server prevent spoofing attacks?

In this way, a DNSSEC-capable, resolving DNS server with a valid trust anchor installed protects against DNS spoofing attacks whether or not DNS clients are DNSSEC-aware. Additionally, if the DNS client is DNSSEC-aware, it can be configured to require that the DNS server perform DNSSEC validation. The following figure shows the validation process.

How do I display DNS queries that include DNSSEC data?

The Resolve-DnsName cmdlet was introduced in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 and can be used to display DNS queries that include DNSSEC data. Do not use the nslookup command-line tool to test DNSSEC support for a zone. The nslookup tool uses an internal DNS client that is not DNSSEC-aware.

Can a DNSSEC-aware recursive DNS server protect non-DNSSEC aware DNS clients?

If the validation fails, it will return a DNS server failure to the DNS client. If the validation succeeds, it will return the query results to the client. In this way, a DNSSEC-aware recursive DNS server can protect non-DNSSEC-aware DNS clients.
