Paul Abramson, Director of Technology at MB&T, found himself in the midst of a complex regulatory discussion that would transition the bank’s website from https://www.montecito.com to a new domain https://montecito.bank. The .bank extension would incorporate the latest security requirements to reduce phishing, spoofing, and Internet scams. In addition, Abramson recognized the risks a potential security attack could pose to a bank’s website. He needed a vendor to help him meet the industry regulations for the domain change as well as bulletproof the site from sophisticated cyber security threats.
“我们对通常的参与者进行了评估,并对众多供应商的建议进行了筛选。”Abramson 说。“Cloudflare 的价值主张非常出色。它以单一的简单服务(DNSSEC、SSL 证书、DDoS 安全、WAF、CDN)提供有竞争力的价格,涵盖我们所需的一切,并迅速满足了我们的定制要求。”
为取得令人垂涎的 .bank顶级域名(TLD),MB&T 必须实施带有安全扩展的 DNS (DNSSEC)。“Cloudflare 使 DNSSEC 尽可能容易使用,” Abramson说。“DNSSEC 增强了域的安全性和可信度,并帮助我们取得了 .bank扩展域名。现在,即使我们的非技术人员也意识到 montecito.bank 是 Internet 上开展业务的一个颇受信赖、经过检验且更加安全的位置。”
