Many companies register defensive and lookalike domains to block cybersquatters, then abandon them with no website, no mailboxes, and no further attention. That passive approach creates a serious gap in brand protection. To an external mail server, a parked domain looks the same as an active one. Without explicit DNS instructions, receiving servers cannot distinguish … Read more

Basic SSL/TLS certificates are widespread, but the presence of a padlock icon no longer satisfies enterprise-grade security requirements. While automated, baseline encryption protects routine web traffic, organizations operating at scale face stricter regulatory, operational, and risk-management demands that require more deliberate cryptographic controls.

A bank might buy its domain from one registrar, delegate … Read more

Relying on shared accounts or wide-ranging privileges creates opportunities for accidental misconfigurations and insider threats. Security teams need precise ways to ensure employees have only the access required to perform their roles. For Cloudflare Enterprise customers, consolidating access control into a single, … Read more

When responding to network threats, every second matters. Security teams cannot afford to wait for delayed summaries or aggregated metrics while an attack is underway. They need immediate, unfiltered visibility into activity across their infrastructure so they can detect, investigate, and respond in real time. CrowdStrike’s Global Threat Report shows the average eCrime “breakout time” … Read more

If you’ve been waiting for a short, generic, and instantly recognizable web address to become available, the wait is nearly over. On July 22, 2026, Verisign announced that .web has been delegated into the DNS root zone, removing the final technical barrier before the domain can be launched to registrars and the public.
