Risk Mitigation
Prevent all forms of naming related risk:
Registrar Risk
At key points in the domain lifecycle your interests and your Registrar's best interests can diverge: Registrars "snipe" valuable domains, they datamine their own customer domain expiries for auction prospects.
Beyond a certain point your domain may be worth more to them if you let it lapse than if you renew it.
Even before it gets to that point, one of the most commonplace causes of unplanned outages are simply unintended expiries.
Some domains literally hold up a piece of the internet and are part of the network infrastructure. Even a momentary outage across the network can have ripple effects lasting hours or days.
We monitor your key names and idle domain assets for inadvertent expiry.
Reverse Hijacking
Unrelated third parties can and do covet your production names or unused domains you had the prescience to acquire and have been holding in reserve for the right time.
Submarine trademark filings followed by an attempt to grab your name via dispute proceedings are sadly, not uncommon.
In many cases the aggressor is banking on your unfamiliarity with the resolution process or lack of deep pockets for an easy "win" in the resolution procedure, one that awards them your name.
When somebody tries this against a domain protected by DomainSure, your case is automatically defended by one of the top domain and Intellectual Property law firms in the business. We retain the top domain name attorneys for this purpose.
The DomainSure seal on your website and even on your parked, unused domains signal to these predators that you're no pushover.
You've got industry experts behind you.
Threat Detection
In conjunction with traditional threat detection, DomainSure name-based threat detection can up your game against hostile entities, providing advance knowledge of an impending attack or detecting one already in progress.
Our threat detection suite is three-fold:
We monitor your DNS environment (name servers, hostnames, DNSSEC signatures and hain-of-trust), IP addresses and analyze for vulnerabilities, weaknesses, anomalies and breaches.
We actively comb the wider web, the dark-web, for "chatter" and other signs of impending or ongoing hostilities against your names.
We operate a global array of DNS sensors which can detect anomalous queries to your domains which can signal the early stages of an attempted penetration or attack.
Business Continuity
Our Business Continuity offering derives directly out of our expertise in DNS and naming and is intended to provide the much needed (often overlooked!) compliment to your existing Disaster Recovery and continuity of operations plans.
Outsourcing DNS to external managed DNS providers is often a wise choice for a number of reasons. However every DNS provider is a logical Single Point Of Failure (SPOF) unto themselves.
Too often the DNS is largely forgotten after vendor selection, and when disaster strikes the vendor, it strikes you too!
DomainSure enables offsite zone backups, archival, and historical repositories of your critical zone data.
Combined with the ability to export your zones in numerous formats (bind, powerdns, nsd, tinydns and even proprietary formats like Amazon Route 53), this means you can drastically reduce the time required for migration to another vendor; or for bringing additional name server capacity online.
Even when dealing with very large portfolios consisting of thousands of DNS zones, you can be back online in minutes, instead of hours when that "unlikely" Black Swan event hits your key vendors.
Domainsure can also step in and pick up DNS for your domains instantly.
Portfolio Management
Managing domains becomes infinitly more complex as the number of zones, disparate TLDs, registrars, and myriad vendors increases.
DomainSure’s portfolio management suite provides fully managed oversight of your portfolio or gives your personnel everything they need to completely manage all aspects of your domains.
The Domain Portfolio Audit
Overwhelmed by an unwieldy, fragmented domain portfolio? Domains slipping through the cracks? Lack of redudancy? Locked-in?
Too many organizations have no clear vision on how to implement anaming strategy across multiple departments, brands, subsidiaries, countries, namespaces.
After the DomainSure experts employ a 46 point inspection process across every domain in your organization's wheelhouse, a Comprehensive Domain Portfolio Audit is produced that will provide actionable clarity:
- Identification of weak points in your domain operations with exact step-by-step instructions to remedy
- An organization domain name cheat sheet which can quickly streamline communications and eliminate costly errors.
- Your Domain Doomsday Book. Imagine your domain registrar, DNS provider or other key vendor housing your most important domain name (or a few thousand of them) disappeared tomorrow (yes, it happens). Your organizations’ Domain Doomsday Book will contain everything you need to quickly and seamlessly shift all domain operations to an alternate vendor or Registrar.
