Despite the shift to modernize business environments and operations among the Global 2000 companies, web domains remain dangerously under protected, according to CSC. CSC's research also shows that most Global 2000 companies continue to lag in the adoption of domain security measures.

57% of the Global 2000 are relying on off-the-shelf consumer-grade registrars who offer limited domain security mechanisms to protect against domain and DNS hijacking.

"Basic domain security measures continue to get overlooked because they're still not considered an essential component to a company's broader phishing, business email compromise, or ransomware mitigation approach," said Mark Calandra, president of CSC Digital Brand Services.

"A focus on securing legitimate domains while monitoring for malicious domains in parallel needs to be a bigger priority for companies to stay protected and thwart cyber risk. Otherwise, companies are exposing themselves to significant threats to their cyber security posture, data protection, intellectual property, supply chains, consumer safety, revenue, and reputation."

At the same time, it's imperative that companies get proactive with their domain security moving forward.

Companies need to take a more aggressive cyber security approach to disrupt criminal activities taking place across their domain ecosystem.
