“This acquisition significantly expands CSC’s global capabilities and will establish CSC Digital Brand Services as the partner of choice for companies worldwide seeking to promote and protect their brands online,” said CSC Vice President Jim Stoltzfus.

The digital marketplace is continuing to evolve, with the launch of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers’ New gTLD program ushering in the most significant change to the domain name space since the introduction of country code top-level domains.
