Common External Threats
Businesses face high levels of footprint from external threats posed by the dark web and other forms of external exposure. Cybercriminals can exploit vulnerabilities at any moment to cause data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage.
Exposed Services
Open ports, misconfigured firewalls, and vulnerable applications can be exploited by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to your network.
Missing Records
Incorrect DNS records, missing SPF or DKIM records, and other configuration errors can lead to phishing attacks, spoofing, and other targeted email-based cybercrime.
Invalid Chain of Trust
Improperly configured or expired SSL/TLS certificates can expose sensitive information and enable cybercriminals to launch man-in-the-middle attacks.
Leaked Credentials
Leaked credentials are typically found in data dumps and other lists on the dark web and pose a critical risk to employees and businesses if they go unchecked.
Evolving Ecosystem
It’s difficult for small businesses to keep up with their external posture and the ever-changing methods of attack on an on-going basis.
Business Targeting
The dark web is frequently used to buy and sell data targeting businesses and their employees for malicious purposes such as ransomware, competitive advantage, and financial gain.

Remediation
CRM 360 remediation playbooks enable precise steps for simplified resolution, leveraging industry best practices.
Security Score and Issues
Each business receives a security score based on an overall risk assessment which will be continuously updated according to the issue status from external scans and reflect any new vulnerabilities.
