Implement DNSSEC

Activate DNSSEC with your domain registrar and add the DS records to your parent zone. This protects against DNS spoofing attacks.

Impact: Significantly increases security and prevents DNS manipulation

Strengthen DMARC policy

Change your DMARC policy from "none" to "quarantine" or "reject" for better protection.

Impact: Increases email security and prevents abuse

Add CAA records

Define which Certificate Authorities may issue SSL certificates, for example: "0 issue letsencrypt.org"

Impact: Prevents unauthorized certificate issuance
