As AI systems increasingly mediate trust online, the United Nations faces a closing opportunity to secure a sovereign .un domain, creating a machine-readable digital identity that strengthens authenticity, preserves institutional knowledge, and counters impersonation.
A website's server location is only part of the privacy equation. The host's legal jurisdiction can determine whether foreign authorities gain access to data, exposing gaps between GDPR compliance, data sovereignty and real-world protection.
Third-party domain registrations tied to FIFA are surging ahead of the 2026 World Cup, revealing how major events fuel brand abuse, customer confusion, and fraud, from fake ticket sites to sophisticated scams timed to exploit peak fan interest.
Quantum computing is advancing toward a point where today's encryption could fail, exposing years of stored data. While post-quantum defenses are emerging, experts warn that hackers are already stockpiling sensitive information for future decryption.
As quantum computing advances, the race to secure the internet is becoming urgent. Experts at EuroDIG 2026 warned that only coordinated, multistakeholder action can accelerate post-quantum cryptography deployment before existing encryption becomes dangerously obsolete.
Community networks could become a crucial pillar of Africa's digital sovereignty, extending connectivity while giving underserved communities greater ownership, resilience, technical capacity, and influence over the infrastructure and services that increasingly shape economic opportunity.
Cybercriminals are becoming a major force in the domain-name market, driving an estimated one-fifth of new gTLD registrations in 2025 and exposing how commercial incentives, weak enforcement, and scale continue to fuel online abuse.
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.
New data on DNS abuse reveals most malicious domains remain active beyond 24 hours, while a handful of registrars host the bulk of infrastructure, leaving India's population of first-generation internet users uniquely exposed to fraud.
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.
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.
As AI reshapes the digital world, online safety depends on balancing smarter protection with growing risks. From cybersecurity to privacy concerns, understanding AI's role can help users stay secure, informed, and resilient online.
Fake news spreads quickly online, fueling distrust, manipulation, and conflict. As AI-generated content grows more sophisticated, media literacy, fact-checking, and vigilance are essential to protecting online safety and preserving trust in information.
As cross-border cyber enforcement falters, critics argue Article 19's DNS abuse framework prioritizes procedural purity over user protection, leaving courts too slow to counter AI-driven phishing, rapid-flux domains, and increasingly automated online threats.
As Africa digitises rapidly, control over data is emerging as a strategic contest. Foreign infrastructure dominance exposes economic and cybersecurity vulnerabilities, pushing governments to prioritise digital capability, regional cooperation, and stronger sovereignty over the systems powering the continent's future.

European Airports Still Reeling from Ransomware Attack as Software Fix NearsAddressing DNS abuse and maintaining a healthy DNS ecosystem are important components of Verisign's commitment to being a responsible steward of the internet. We continuously engage with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and other industry partners to help ensure the secure, stable and resilient operation of the DNS. more
Verisign just released its Q2 2018 DDoS Trends Report, which represents a unique view into the attack trends unfolding online, through observations and insights derived from distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack mitigations enacted on behalf of customers of Verisign DDoS Protection Services. more
Currently scheduled for October 11, 2018, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) plans to change the cryptographic key that helps to secure the internet's Domain Name System (DNS) by performing a Root Zone Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) key signing key (KSK) rollover. more
Verisign has released its Q1 2018 DDoS Trends Report, which represents a unique view into the attack trends unfolding online, through observations and insights derived from distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack mitigations enacted on behalf of Verisign DDoS Protection Services, and security research conducted by Verisign Security Services. more
As DNS attacks grow in frequency and impact, organizations can no longer afford to overlook DNS security as part of their overall defense-in-depth strategy. As with IT security in general, no single tactic can address the entire DNS threat landscape or secure the complete DNS ecosystem. more
Verisign has released its Q4 2017 DDoS Trends Report, which represents a unique view into the attack trends unfolding online, through observations and insights derived from distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack mitigations enacted on behalf of Verisign DDoS Protection Services and security research conducted by Verisign Security Services. more
Cybercriminals recognize the value of DNS availability and look for ways to compromise DNS uptime and the DNS servers that support it. As such, DNS becomes an important point of security enforcement and a potential point in the Cyber Kill Chain for many cyber-attacks. more
