Essential protection for your strategic domain names
Cybercriminals regularly attack websites belonging to well-known companies (such as The New York Times, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, CNN and the BBC) in an attempt to hijack, hack, paralyse or divert tra ffic by fraudulently accessing domain name registration data and DNS records.
If cybercriminals gain access to domain name registration they can modify information including the destination website to which the domain name resolves.
The consequences are signifi cant and the damage to brand can be especially serious:
- Loss of reputation and e ffect on corporate image
- Loss of user con fidence in the security of customer information
- Loss of sales
- Loss of con fidential, business-critical information
Yet there are existing security solutions that mitigate these sorts of attacks by locking down operations that are permissible on strategically important domain names.

Registry lock to counter strategic domain attacks
The ‘Registry Lock service’ allows a domain name owner to supply locking information to the domain name registry , relating to the domain name. Operations on the domain name are only permitted following an authentification process confi rming the identity of the domain holder.
Registry lock protects a domain name from undergoing diff erent operations such as DNS server modifi cations, modifi cation of contact information, domain transfer and deletion of a domain name.
This security mechanism, which is put in place to protect domain names, is operated using highly secure manual authentification processes and may be put in place for all strategically important domain names.
A simple, efficient and secure process… multi-step authentification to unlock domain names at the registry
