AJMAN, Jul 11 : Ajman University has secured a prestigious international grant from the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) worth US$410,300, in the inaugural cycle of the ICANN Grant

Program.

This competitive international award, secured through the dedicated efforts of Prof. Rao Naveed Bin Rais from
the College of Engineering and Information Technology, will support the development of a groundbreaking

system to archive and analyse global data related to the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC)
— a vital cybersecurity protocol that safeguards the integrity of Internet infrastructure.

The project aims to build a 24/7 operational platform that analyzes historical DNSSEC data, identifies
vulnerabilities, and highlights gaps in its global implementation. This first-of-its-kind system will offer
diagnostic tools with visual analysis, helping enhance DNSSEC adoption worldwide.
