Unlocked domains are susceptible to malicious tactics that can lead to unauthorized DNS changes and domain name hijacking, says CSC. Your organization's public-facing domain is often as important and critical a resource as are your internal files, data, and network.
Just as you protect your internal infrastructure from cyberthreats, so too do you need to protect your domain.
A report released Tuesday by domain security provider CSC highlights some of the security threats that can affect your domain and what you can do to fight them.
Analyzing the domain security practices of companies across the Forbes Global 2000, CSC found that only 17% of organizations use registry locks to prevent domain name hijacking and unauthorized changes to their DNS. Without a lock, such threats could take a website offline or redirect users to malicious content.
As part of this strategy, select an enterprise-class provider though which you can secure access to your domain and DNS management systems, control user permissions, and leverage advanced domain security features.
