Identified

We continue to work on reports of errors during migration to DNSWatch in WGC and have identified the issue. Failures are affecting customers who have invalid domains configured in legacy DNSWatch and are attempting to migrate. WGC DNSWatch has introduced domain validation before policies are created.



Our teams are working to restore normal operations and we apologize for the impact this event has caused. We'll post our next update in approximately 8 hours, if not sooner.
