About the event
Banks and fintech companies are among the biggest targets for phishing, domain fraud, and online scams. Every fake login page or fraudulent transaction erodes customer trust and damages brand reputation. In 2026, ICANN’s New gTLD program reopens, giving enterprises the opportunity to apply for their own DotBRAND top-level domains — exclusive namespaces that fraudsters cannot exploit.
Global leaders have already shown the impact: SBI uses .sbi for secure banking, significantly reducing phishing, while Barclays shifted its digital presence to .barclays, ensuring customers always know they are on a trusted site.
This webinar, “ICANN New gTLD 2026: Why Banks & FinTech Must Act Against Phishing and Fraud”, will demonstrate how Indian financial institutions can leverage DotBRAND to protect customers, reduce compliance risks, and build digital trust.
What you’ll learn:
🔒 Phishing Protection – How DotBRAND blocks fraud and impersonation.
🏦 Banking Case Studies – Lessons from .sbi in India and .barclays globally.
