Government websites and online businesses commonly use country-code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) to reach their citizens and target local customers. Like other TLDs, ccTLDs’ security relies on a resilient domain name system (DNS) infrastructure. A robust DNS ecosystem is essential to protect against cyberattacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and to ensure continued access to online services during crises. It also boosts global trust by showcasing digital maturity.




With new and emerging technologies, cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and are increasing. Information about cyber threats, also known as threat intelligence, is a significant defence component, as it contains context, indicators of compromise (IoCs), implications and advised actions regarding identified and emerging possible threats. However, the application of threat intelligence requires that good-quality data be shared by organisations and states.
