| What is DNSSEC and why does it matter? DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) adds extra protection to the DNS, helping prevent certain types of attacks, such as cache poisoning. It ensures that the DNS information you receive is accurate and hasn’t been tampered with. What DNSSEC does Authenticates the source of DNS data so you know it’s coming from the right place. Verifies data integrity to make sure records haven’t been changed along the way. Provides proof of non-existence, so you can be certain when a domain truly does not exist. What DNSSEC does not do It does not encrypt data. Information sent through DNSSEC is still visible. It does not protect against DDoS attacks. Other security measures are needed for that. Why use DNSSEC? Builds trust by ensuring DNS responses are authentic. Protects customers and users from being redirected to malicious websites. Helps prevent attackers from injecting false information into DNS queries. |
