DNSSEC bolsters .com security

VeriSign's new security feature now available for .com websites domain is certainly good news that could not have come sooner.

To be sure, website administrators are forced to deal with numerous threats every day and any tool which can reasonably lower the risk of attack is more than welcome.

VeriSign announced the rollout plan of DNNSEC (DNS Security Extensions) in February 2009 and has firmly stuck to its aggressive timelines. 



The plan was carefully developed, starting with the smaller of the big three domains - .edu - in August 2010.
