Cybercrime is Booming: The past year has seen an unprecedented surge in cybercrime activity, much of it underpinned by domain name abuse. The total number of malware, phishing, and spam attacks grew by 54% year-over-year to reach 16.3 million incidents, with threat actors weaponizing an estimated 8.6 million unique domain names for these attacks.

DNSSEC is an essential feature for ensuring the integrity and security of your online presence. Without it, you expose your users to fraud and risk your organisation’s reputation. However, implementing DNSSEC can be complicated, especially for large domain portfolios with thousands of domains.

One of the biggest online vulnerabilities for organisations today is lack of control of their digital assets, which leaves the doors open for all kinds of abuse, including brand impersonation and domain takeovers. The consequences of this, both to brand reputation and finances, can be severe. But there is an easy way to prevent this - proper management.
