1 articles · Updated · AD HOC NEWS · Jun 13

Summary

  • Verisign is pitching Managed DNS as an authoritative service for enterprises that cannot tolerate internet downtime, aiming at revenue-critical websites, SaaS platforms and other high-traffic operations.
  • The offering leans on the infrastructure behind .com and .net, using globally distributed anycast name servers, geographic redundancy and 24/7 monitoring to keep latency low and absorb DDoS attacks.
  • Security features include DNSSEC signing, rate-limiting, monitoring, role-based access controls and APIs that let operations teams automate record changes and integrate DNS into deployment workflows.
  • Verisign says the service can also fit hybrid multi-provider DNS setups, giving customers another authoritative layer if a third-party provider fails.
  • The product extends Verisign's enterprise network-services push beyond its core registry business; shares closed at $188.59 on Nasdaq on June 12.
