A new type of data feed has been made available for users with a Newly Registered Domains (NRD) Database Ultimate subscription, allowing them to obtain new domain intelligence faster. 

Specifically, the new Domains Only data feed gives access to files containing all domains from the Ultimate data feed, along with those added to or deleted from a given day’s zone files compared with the previous day.

How Is the Domains Only Data Feed Structured?

The Domains Only data feed file comprises columns for the new domain names and their related events. Domains removed from a given day’s zone file are marked as “dropped,” while new ones are tagged as “added.” You may download a sample of the data feed here.

Potential Use Cases

Since the data feed does not include the domains’ WHOIS information, new domain intelligence is processed and delivered faster. With cybercriminals quickly registering new domains for malicious purposes, this new data feed can empower security processes, such as:

• NRD filtering: Organizations can use the Domains Only data feed to prevent users from accessing NRDs, especially those that could be spoofing popular companies or algorithmically created. Feed-enabled NRD filtering can also come in the form of user notifications, alerting users when they try to access a new domain.

• Email legitimacy verification: The new Domains Only feed can enhance email security solutions, enabling them to filter messages from new email domains. This capability allows email security products to react faster to emerging domain threats, including phishing attempts that often leverage recently registered domains.

• Brand protection: The new data feed provides users with a daily list of new domains, enabling proactive brand monitoring to immediately identify potential brand imitators before they can damage a company’s reputation.
