ICANN does not control the granting of all domain names, it coordinates the assignment of top level domains and the management of the root zone file. As an extension of that power, it imposes some contractual obligations on domain name registries. But not on hosting services per se. Also, to say that ICANN is "responsible for the security of the Internet" is a vast overstatement. It is responsible for the security of DNS. That's all.
