Dear Valued Customers,

We’re thrilled to announce an upcoming security enhancement for Kore.ai services!
On June 9th, 2024 , we’ll be implementing DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) for our domain, kore.ai.

This initiative reinforces our commitment to providing you with the highest level of security and reliability.

What is DNSSEC and Why is it Important?

DNSSEC stands for Domain Name System Security Extensions.
It safeguards the information exchanged through the Domain Name System (DNS), which translates website addresses (like kore.ai) into computer-readable codes.

While crucial for internet functionality, DNS has vulnerabilities like spoofing and poisoning.

DNSSEC tackles these issues by adding a security layer to DNS.
It utilizes digital signatures and cryptographic keys to verify the authenticity of DNS responses, ensuring they originate from a legitimate source and haven’t been tampered with.

Here’s a simplified breakdown:

  • Digital Signatures:
    DNS responses come with a digital signature created using a private key.

  • Public Key Verification:
    DNS resolvers (responsible for DNS lookups) use the corresponding public key to confirm the response’s validity.

  • Chain of Trust:
    This verification process establishes a chain of trust, starting from the root DNS servers and extending to the specific domain.

Benefits of DNSSEC:

  • Enhanced Security:
    DNSSEC prevents attackers from redirecting users to malicious websites by authenticating DNS responses.

  • Data Integrity:
    It guarantees that the data you receive is precisely what the domain owner intended, safeguarding against manipulation.

  • Trustworthiness:
    With DNSSEC, you can be confident that the DNS information you’re using is accurate and secure, fortifying online transactions and communication.

What to Expect:

Our DNSSEC implementation on June 9th, 2024, will automatically provide a more secure browsing experience.

Here’s what you can anticipate:

  • No Service Disruptions:
    The implementation will be seamless, with no downtime or interruptions to our services.

  • Increased Security:
    All DNS queries for our domains will be secured with DNSSEC, offering an extra layer of protection against DNS attacks.

  • Continued Reliability:
    Our top priority remains ensuring service reliability and accessibility.
    DNSSEC will strengthen this commitment by bolstering the overall security of our DNS infrastructure.

We’re committed to providing you with a secure and reliable platform.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your continued trust in Kore.ai
