While the choices of domain names have expanded, cases of unauthorized acquisition by third parties have also increased, leading to brand damage and use in phishing sites, fraudulent sites, and counterfeit product sales sites, which threaten customers. To protect customers from such damages and to protect the brand, "domain name blocking" (i.e., acquisition of protective domains) related to their branding is generally performed defensively. ■ Challenges of Domain Name Blocking Corporate officers need to select protective domains considering the high risk and necessity for each domain name. However, with the diversification of domain names, the verification and selection process has become burdensome. In addition, with the increase in TLDs, the need to acquire many protective domains has increased, and the acquisition cost has become an issue for corporate officers. ■ Achieving Efficient Brand Protection with "GMO Domain Block" To solve these issues, reduce the burden on corporate officers, and optimize brand protection, we have started offering "GMO Domain Block". As a domain registrar and a group of brand SECURITY professionals handling domain names worldwide, GMO BRAND SECURITY will propose the optimal protective domains tailored to your brand and business area through this service. GMO BRAND SECURITY will contribute to improving brand SECURITY in the domain business field as well.
