The TLDs are managed by XYZ.COM LLC, with back-end services provided by CentralNic. The TLDs were originally owned by the Symantec Corporation, who sold it to XYZ.COM LLC in June 2015.
Uses and Goals
.Security and .Protection are two highly targeted TLDs for the security industry. They appeal to cyber security firms, home- and private security businesses. With their strong vertical industry focus, companies operating in this space can find short, relevant, and memorable domains pertaining to their area of expertise. The name spaces do not have any reserved or premium domains. All names are available for registration without restriction.
.Security and .Protection are ideal domain extensions for startups and established businesses alike. Startups may find a great keyword pertaining to their business on .Security or .Protection. Established businesses are using .Security and .Protection domains to launch new initiatives, expand their online marketing, and secure region specific URLs. Several of businesses have also chosen to rebrand to a .Security or .Protection domain.
Large enterprises, including Amazon, Ebay, Hewlett Packard, and Symantec are using .Security and .Protection domains to point directly to their security and privacy protection pages, providing an easy place for customers to view this information.
Marketing
.Security and .Protection are being marketed to a professional audience. Both name spaces are considered premium name spaces, since all keywords are available without any registry reserve. The price point of .Security and .Protection domains encourages legitimate businesses to register domains, helping prevent against cyber-squatting and phishing concerns. At the same time it gives consumer-trust to website visitors.
The .Security and .Protection team frequently attend security conferences such as RSA and BlackHat to spread awareness for the extensions and to help registrars in being successful. Representatives from the registry operator meet with industry leaders, insiders, and attendees to educate them about the benefits of .Security and .Protection domains and to help potential customers find them at their registrar of choice.
