Security
The digital presentation of your company on the Internet combined with corresponding trademark and patent rights has a great influence on your business success. This makes it all the more important to protect these individual legal interests. We have therefore already established high safety standards from which our customers benefit. These are based on the measures proposed by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for "secure provision of domain services". These include two-factor authentication, DNSSEC and special domain protection measures.
To protect the domain portfolio against unauthorized changes, we offer you extensive optional additions.
In addition to well-known companies such as Paypal, Amazon or various banks, we also offer our customers specially secured access to our customer interface based on "Two Factor Authentication". With 123SecureID, an additional one-time password must be entered in addition to the usual login with user name and password. This is regenerated at short intervals by a security mechanism and protects your access against unauthorized access by means of spied passwords and password abuse – for example by former employees or external service providers.
Especially well-known company or product names combined with the corresponding domains often become the target of criminal attacks. 123DomainProtect locks these domains for certain actions such as transfer, change of ownership and changes to DNS entries. Only after an individually defined authorization the domains are released and the corresponding processes are made possible. This prevents, for example, the transfer of domains to third parties, deletion of domains or unwanted redirection of your website or e-mails. Increase the security of your most important domains with 123DomainProtect.
Observing the domain market outside your own portfolio is a challenge. Thousands of domain transactions are carried out worldwide every day. These can be new registrations, but also changes to existing domains.
Not all transactions are relevant for your company. From the amount of data the domain names need to be identified, which are similar to the own product, brand or company names. Our systems carry out corresponding tests according to your specifications. You receive a well-founded overview from which recommendations for action can be derived and which you can implement according to your individual domain strategy.
Anycast complements our DNS services, increases the reliability and accelerates the response behavior of the DNS system. With Anycast, DNS requests are always routed to the nearest DNS server. Since several individual and distributed servers perform the tasks of a single DNS server in the background, this not only improves response times but also increases system stability and resilience against attacks (DDoS attacks). With Anycast, you benefit from optimal access times and the best possible reliability.

The important step after successful trademark registration is to check the – above all abusive – use of the protected or confusable terms or representations. As trademark owner, you will be informed if there is an overlap with other trademarks lately applied for. Only identical trademark entries are prevented by the trademark registers. The trademark owner is responsible for monitoring the registration of terms or representations that can be confused.
We automatically and regularly monitor the environment of your registered trademarks and provide detailed reports in our customer interface. Here you can quickly and clearly identify who has applied for similar, potentially confusable terms or representations and, if necessary, initiate further steps. The reports are available for download, you can process them internally or forward them to your external consultants. In this way, you can act in good time, inform customers and other interested parties and counteract a possible loss of reputation.
