DNS Security Gets Fixed When Someone Notices - Not Before

A study of 309 universities, museums and sports brands finds DNS security follows visible threats rather than technical risk, leaving organisations well protected against familiar attacks while quieter weaknesses in critical infrastructure persist unnoticed.

Phantom Squatting: When LLMs’ Hallucination Becomes an Attacker’s Best Friend

As AI reshapes cybersecurity, attackers are exploiting a fundamental weakness in large language models. Phantom squatting turns hallucinated domain names into trusted attack vectors, creating a new class of DNS abuse that defenders cannot solve by eliminating hallucinations alone.

.PK ccTLD Governance Issues and Pakistan’s Digital Future

Pakistan's .pk domain has long been controlled by a private company abroad, raising concerns over digital sovereignty, cybersecurity and accountability. Repeated breaches, offshore infrastructure and weak governance have left a critical national asset exposed and contested.

From Uptime to Trust: The Domain Security Strategy Behind Business Continuity

Domains and DNS underpin modern business operations, yet security gaps remain widespread. CSC's latest research shows why stronger domain protections are essential to resilience, helping companies reduce disruption, safeguard trust, and maintain continuity when attacks strike.

dotBrand Domains as Trust Infrastructure in the Age of AI

As AI agents automate phishing, impersonation and domain abuse at machine scale, the Brand Registry Group argues that dotBrand domains are evolving from marketing assets into trust infrastructure underpinning cybersecurity, identity and interactions across the internet.

Time Sovereignty: Internet Policy and Defense Frameworks for Critical Infrastructure Synchronization Under Geopolitical Conflict

As power grids depend on microsecond precision, states must treat time synchronization as sovereign infrastructure, hardening satellite, fiber and orbital defenses against hybrid attacks that could trigger catastrophic blackouts through resilient sovereign time defense frameworks.

The Illusion of Digital Sovereignty (Part I) - Cloud Infrastructure, Survivability, and the Territorialization of the Internet

Missile strikes on Gulf data centres exposed a deeper contradiction at the heart of digital sovereignty: governments seek territorial control over internet infrastructure whose resilience still depends upon globally distributed coordination and interdependence across borders.

Africa’s Digital Transformation Is Outpacing Its Cybersecurity Governance

Africa's digital boom is accelerating, but safeguards lag. Governments and firms deploy systems at speed, while weak enforcement and fragmented oversight leave economies exposed to mounting cyber risks.

Fake Domains, Real Damage: What the Latest Data Reveals

Third-party domains exploiting brand names are proliferating, with 88% of homoglyphs externally owned. Many remain dormant yet email-enabled, creating scalable phishing risks as attackers increasingly target trust rather than infrastructure.

Domain Security Report: Unicorns Show Strong Adoption in Key Domain Security Measures

Unicorn firms lead in DNS-based security adoption, signaling technical maturity, while Global 2000 rely on enterprise registrars. Gaps in redundancy and brand protection expose supply chain risks as cyberattacks intensify across industries globally today.
