DOMAIN SECURITY REPORT
2022
As Zero Trust security models become a top defensive security strategy, 2022 has shown how critical it is to include domain security.
KEY FINDINGS
NEARLY
3/4
of Global 2000 companies have an alarmingly high risk of exposure to security threats
45%
of companies that use enterprise-class registrars also use registry lock
75%
of the registered domains that resembled the Forbes Global 2000 brands (homoglyphs) are owned by third parties
Zero Trust models must extend beyond business systems, applications, and devices, and include a company’s domain ecosystem as a real vulnerability to the attacks.
