Safeguarding .AI: How Identity Digital Is Mastering Domain Management Against Cyber Threats

Identity Digital provides vital security solutions to safeguard some of the world’s fastest-growing top level domains (TLDs), including Anguilla’s .AI. As the popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to skyrocket, .AI domains are attracting more interest from businesses, developers, and innovators eager to stake their claim in this space. With this growth comes a critical responsibility: ensuring the security of .AI domains.

We recognize this responsibility and are dedicated to providing the necessary infrastructure and solutions to protect .AI and other TLDs from evolving cyber threats. Our proactive approach to domain security and leading abuse mitigation program protects .AI registrations from malicious DNS activity, and monitors threats in real time to identify and act against malicious actors. Our technology identifies and blocks potentially malicious permutation of a customer's domain name, preventing future registration, at purchase.

These capabilities grow in importance as cyber threats targeting TLDs become increasingly frequent and sophisticated. For example, the rise of AI has created new opportunities for bad actors to run phishing scams, malware distribution, and other forms of abuse aimed at exploiting user familiarity with .AI. These attacks not only pose a risk to individual users, but can also erode trust in a single, interoperable internet.

Identity Digital is well-equipped to address these challenges head-on. We work closely with global partners to keep crucial systems that power websites and email systems running smoothly and safely. Our registry services are built on top of a modern cloud platform, AWS, providing instant scalability and global resilience, and helping to reduce downtime during cyber attacks, natural disasters, and more. With servers in over 80 countries, our platform keeps .AI domains accessible and secure, even in the face of major challenges.

Identity Digital is also always adopting new security standards, like Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), to stay ahead of emerging threats. These measures ensure that .AI domains remain safe and secure, so businesses, developers, and other users can rely on them without worry or risk.

The rise of AI technology makes it more important than ever to protect the .AI TLD as a trusted online space. Identity Digital is dedicated to keeping it secure, building confidence for users, and ensuring .AI continues to grow safely to the benefit of its users and the country of Anguilla.
