== .nl Domain Names ==
 +
If you type a domain name into your browser, we make sure that you are directed to the right website. If you send an e-mail, we make sure that it's delivered to the right mailbox. And it's thanks to us that the .nl domain is stable. We register .nl domain names and make it possible to reach the 6-million-plus registered domain names on the internet. Every day, our systems process more than 4.5 billion search queries.
 +
 +
== Cybersecurity ==
 +
Cybersecurity is of course esstional in our business, preventing abuse to keep .nl secure. Read more about [https://www.sidn.nl/en/cybersecurity/our-security-approach our security approach] on sidn.nl. We promote the adoption of modern internet standards, such as IPv6 and DNSSEC, which make the internet more trustworthy and enable continued growth. We also have a a service for online brand protection: [https://www.sidn.nl/en/product/sidn-brandguard SIDN BrandGuard]. The tool provides an overview of all your own registered domain names and shows which partners are using your brand. Rapid alert allows you to take immediate action. This prevents your brand from being abused for phishing, mail fraud, CEO fraud or identity fraud. By fighting fraud immediately, you prevent reputation damage and high costs caused by abuse.
 +
 +
== Registry services ==
 +
We provide registry services for other top-level domains, including .politie, .aw (Aruba's domain) and .amsterdam. We also have a partnership with [[Canadian Internet Registration Authority|CIRA]] to build a new registry platform based on CIRA’s Fury Registry Platform, which is a next-generation TLD management platform with the features and functionality designed for the modern TLD business.

We use the earnings from new products to reinforce the position of the .nl domain, to promote growth in the field of cybersecurity and online identity, and to invest in the Dutch and international internet communities. Those goals are pursued through the operations of SIDN Labs and SIDN Fund, for example. A total of about 110 people work SIDN, [https://www.sidnlabs.nl/en SIDN Labs] and [https://www.sidnfonds.nl/excerpt SIDN Fund] at our modern and colourful office complex in Arnhem.
 +
 +
