Why did the .CO registry implement DNSSEC?

How .CO Protects Against Domain Abuse
The .CO Registry is committed to keeping .CO one of the safest and most secure domain extensions on the internet.

Our Security Commitment
We continually update our systems with the latest technical and security upgrades.

This includes supporting DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions), a technology that helps protect against certain types of attacks and ensures your connection to .CO websites is secure.

Why This Matters
In 2010, ICANN added DNSSEC security at the root of the internet naming system.

By adopting DNSSEC for .CO, we give registrants and internet users extra assurance that the .CO sites they visit are authentic and protected.

Key Takeaway
Through tools like DNSSEC and ongoing upgrades, the .CO Registry works proactively to reduce domain abuse and protect both website owners and visitors.
