Infrastructure, availability and recovery

Security also depends on the platform, the network and the options available when something goes wrong.

DDoS-protected DNS

Ecenica DNS includes DDoS protection to help keep DNS services available during attacks.

Network-level DDoS protection

Network traffic filtering helps reduce the impact of DDoS attacks before malicious traffic reaches protected infrastructure. Coverage depends on the service.

    Each member signs in with their own Ecenica user account, so you do not need to share your password.

  • Permissions for each person

    Choose which account areas and actions each team member can access or manage based on their role.

  • Owner-managed access

    Account owners can manage invitations, update permissions and remove a member’s access as responsibilities change.
