DNSSEC helps protect Internet users from attacks that manipulate DNS information, such as DNS spoofing and DNS cache poisoning.

Without DNSSEC, attackers may be able to redirect users to fraudulent websites by providing false DNS responses. DNSSEC adds a layer of verification that helps ensure DNS information is authentic and has not been tampered with.

When properly maintained, DNSSEC helps reduce the risk of traffic hijacking and improves the security and trustworthiness of Internet services.
