Answers to Your Questions
What is Registry Lock?
Just like you wouldn’t leave your safe at home without a lock, Registry Lock adds an extra layer of security to your digital assets. When Registry Lock is activated, an authorized account manager at 101domain must manually submit a request to the registry, who then verifies the request through a phone call which requires a secret passphrase, in order for any changes to be made to your domain settings.
Why do you need Registry Lock?
Registry Lock is a domain security feature that prevents unauthorized parties from updating your domain settings. A domain name hijacking attack as such can cause irrevocable financial and reputational damage to your bank. Registry Lock is a simple yet effective service.
What is Enterprise DNS?
The domain name system (DNS) is like a massive global phone book that directs and routes all the calls that users and other devices make to each other day in and day out, 24/7/365. Although an invisible service, not all DNS services perform the same in speed, reliability, and security. Free standard DNS services pose a major concern for banks—when your website stops responding, slows down, is attacked, or is compromised.
Why do you need Enterprise DNS?
Banks require enterprise DNS services to prevent threats such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. An enterprise DNS solution such as Secure Web Accelerator powered by Cloudflare secures websites, applications, and web infrastructures while ensuring the performance of legitimate online banking traffic is not compromised.
What is DNSSEC?
In the DNS, when a URL is requested in a browser or by a device, there are server networks behind the scenes which get you to the correct destination. Unfortunately, attackers have exploited security issues inherent in the decades-old DNS infrastructure. Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) adds a layer of trust on top of DNS by providing authentication before accepting an answer.
Why do you need DNSSEC?
DNSSEC is the simplest domain security requirement to deploy. 101domain’s Secure Web Accelerator powered by Cloudflare comes with one-click DNSSEC to protect your banking clients from attacks that can spoof or hijack your DNS records. The DNSSEC protocol verifies that a requested DNS record comes from its authoritative name server and wasn’t altered en-route via cache-poisoning, man-in-the-middle attacks, or other types of DNS forgeries.
Can your web service provider accommodate these security features?
