Frequently Asked Questions

What is DNSSEC?
DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) adds cryptographic signatures to DNS records, preventing attackers from forging DNS responses. It protects against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.
What is a CAA record?
A CAA (Certification Authority Authorization) record specifies which Certificate Authorities are allowed to issue SSL certificates for your domain. It prevents unauthorized certificate issuance.
What is subdomain takeover?
Subdomain takeover occurs when a DNS record points to a deprovisioned service (like a deleted cloud instance). Attackers can claim that service and serve content on your subdomain.
What is MTA-STS?
MTA-STS (Mail Transfer Agent Strict Transport Security) enforces TLS encryption for email delivery to your domain. Without it, emails can be intercepted via downgrade attacks.
