DNSSEC Check
Verifies the validity and integrity of DNSSEC signatures that protect your DNS against spoofing.
What does the DNSSEC check do?
It verifies the correctness and integrity of the security signatures that protect your DNS records against forged answers. It keeps your site and services trustworthy and routed to the right servers, and helps prevent attacks such as DNS spoofing or cache poisoning.
Why monitor DNSSEC?
DNSSEC ensures that answers to DNS queries come from authorized sources. If DNSSEC fails or is misconfigured, your domain can be abused for phishing and users can be redirected to fraudulent sites.
