    Identity Digital, a leader in connecting the online world with domain names and related technologies, announced today that it has joined the Shadowserver Foundation’s Alliance. Shadowserver is a cybersecurity foundation dedicated to making the Internet more secure by detecting malicious activity online and expediting its removal in order to make the Internet safer. 

    This strategic alliance unites Identity Digital's deep domain management expertise with Shadowserver's extensive internet security intelligence and investigation capabilities. The collaboration will provide Identity Digital with enhanced access to real-time threat data, cybersecurity experts, and rapid reporting channels to neutralize emerging threats.

    "As a global registry leader, we recognize our pivotal role in fostering a secure and trusted online ecosystem," said Ram Mohan, Chief Strategy Officer of Identity Digital. "Joining the Shadowserver Foundation reinforces our commitment to combatting DNS-based attacks and safeguarding important digital infrastructure relied upon by millions."

    This alliance represents a decisive step forward in proactively protecting users from the growing sophistication of online threats, including phishing and malware distribution. Identity Digital will not only benefit from Shadowserver’s robust threat intelligence network but will also contribute valuable operational insights to further enhance the nonprofit's impact.

    "The integration of a global registry leader like Identity Digital into our efforts marks a significant leap towards a safer Internet," said Piotr Kijewski, Shadowserver CEO. "Domain registries are a fundamental part of internet infrastructure and can help play an important role in cybersecurity defense. This partnership allows us to combine our threat intelligence with their ability to take immediate action at the domain level. Together, we can more effectively disrupt malicious actors before they can cause widespread harm."

    Identity Digital remains focused on DNS security and continued collaboration with registries and registrars, hosting providers, and online platforms to foster a more resilient online environment and anticipate increasingly complex cyberattacks.
