Expanded categorization of attack surface risks

To deliver more accurate and actionable insights into your external risks, we’ve updated how we categorize risks detected on the external attack surface. Existing risk detections have been re-organized and expanded from five categories into ten. The new security domains are Encryption, DNS, Vulnerability Management, Attack Surface, and Data Leakage, which join the existing categories of Website, Email, Network, IP Reputation, and Brand and Reputation. We’ve also updated our scoring algorithm to better measure the level of risk associated with detected findings, and to reflect the risks that make up each category. 

Auto-generated commentary for the Board Summary PowerPoint report

We’ve added auto-generated commentary for each visualization in the Board Summary PowerPoint report, so you can generate a powerful presentation with key insights instantly. The commentary is fully editable so you can adjust it to suit your audience and add your own insights. To learn more see How to generate a Board Summary report.

Notification for undelivered questionnaire requests

To help improve tracking and management of your questionnaire requests, we’ve added detection and notification for when a questionnaire request fails to reach the recipient. The notification questionnaire email has failed to send will be switched on by default for all users. The failure event will also appear in your questionnaire timeline.

We've enhanced our US coverage, capturing a broader and more accurate range of incidents to keep you better informed.
