Internet Identifier System Security, Stability, and Resiliency
IS-SSR in the Office of the CTO (OCTO-SSR)
The overall goal of OCTO-SSR programs is to ensure the security, stability and resiliency of the Internet's Identifier systems. To achieve this goal, ICANN will:
- Engage actively with security, operations, and public safety communities to gather and process intelligence data that indicate (imminent) threats to DNS or domain registration service operations (the "DNS ecosystem").
- Facilitate or participate with these same communities in threat preparedness activities to protect against or mitigate threats to DNS ecosystem.
- Perform studies or analyze data to better understand the health and well-being of the DNS ecosystem.
- Coordinate DNS vulnerability disclosure reporting https://www.icann.org/vulnerability-disclosure.pdf [PDF, 628 KB]
- Lend subject matter expertise to build capability among ccTLD and public safety communities in subjects relevant to the DNS ecosystem, including DNSSEC, abuse or misuse of DNS infrastructures or operations.
- Assist in DNS ecosystem risk management activities.
- With ICANN's Global Stakeholder Engagements team, participate in a global, multi-stakeholder effort to improve cybersecurity and mitigate cybercrime.
