DNSSEC
Ensure integrity and authenticity of your domain
What is DNSSEC?
Visiting websites and sending emails relies upon the Domain Name System (DNS), cybercriminals can take advantage of unprotected DNS to launch attacks by redirecting web traffic and emails.
The solution? DNSSEC.
Short for Domain Name System Security Extensions, it’s a security protocol that adds an extra layer of protection to the Domain Name System (DNS). DNSSEC works by digitally signing DNS records to ensure they aren’t tampered with or forged during transit. DNSSEC helps prevent cybercriminals from redirecting internet traffic.

DNSSEC helps ensure the integrity and authenticity of DNS. Without DNSSEC, cybercriminals can manipulate DNS records and redirect internet traffic to malicious websites, which could result in identity theft, financial loss or other types of cybercrime. DNSSEC helps to prevent these types of attacks and provides a more secure internet experience for everyone.
More about DNSSEC...
DNSSEC offers increased security, improved privacy and better protection against cyberattacks. Digitally signed DNS records help prevent DNS spoofing, cache poisoning and other types of DNS attacks. This process helps to ensure that internet users are directed to the correct websites and that their data remains secure. DNSSEC also provides enhanced privacy by helping prevent third parties from manipulating DNS queries.
DNSSEC isn’t required for every website or organization, but it’s strongly recommended for sites that handle sensitive information or have a high risk of cyberattacks. DNSSEC helps ensure the integrity and authenticity of DNS, which is particularly important for organizations that handle financial transactions, medical records or other sensitive data. Some industries or countries may have specific regulatory requirements that mandate the use of DNSSEC.
