Directory >> Domain Name Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is the sector focused on protecting digital systems, data, and networks from threats and unauthorized access.
Network Security protects data in transit through firewalls, intrusion prevention, and segmentation.
Endpoint Security secures individual devices like laptops and servers against malware and exploitation.
Cloud Security safeguards cloud-based infrastructure, workloads, and data across public and private clouds.
Application Security defends software at the code and runtime levels from vulnerabilities and attacks.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) controls who can access what, using authentication and authorization mechanisms. Data Protection ensures confidentiality and integrity of data through encryption, backup, DLP, and cloud safeguards.
Threat Detection and Response monitors systems, detects threats, and enables fast incident response, including abuse detection and forensics. PKI and Certificate Management manages digital certificates and cryptographic trust for secure communication and authentication.
Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) aligns cybersecurity with regulations and risk management policies.
Cybersecurity has become a key concern in the domain name sector. Domain name cybersecurity refers to the protection of domain names against threats like hijacking, DNS attacks, phishing, and unauthorized changes. It ensures domain integrity, availability, and trust through measures like DNSSEC, registrar lock, and monitoring.
DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) is increasingly adopted to secure DNS records with cryptographic signatures, protecting against threats such as cache poisoning and data interception.
Compliance with the NIS2 directive further encourages organizations to enhance their DNS security. This regulation imposes strict measures to protect digital infrastructures in businesses and essential services.
Email protection secures domain-linked email systems from spoofing and phishing attacks.
Data encryption and authentication ensure that DNS communications are confidential and verifiable, often through protocols like DNSSEC and TLS. Domain name monitoring and brand protection involve tracking unauthorized domain registrations and detecting attempts to impersonate brands. .
Domain abuse detection focuses on identifying fraudulent or malicious use of domain names, such as spam, malware distribution, or phishing.
Threat detection and response covers real-time surveillance and mitigation of security incidents targeting domain assets.
