Web Application Protection
27.4%
Vulnerable to Session Hijacking
33.9%
Vulnerable to Content Injection
41.9%
Vulnerable to Clickjacking
71%
Server Fingerprint Exposed

Missing security headers expose web applications to clickjacking, injection, and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Email Spoofing Protection
4.8%
Vulnerable to Email Impersonation

Organizations without proper email authentication controls allow attackers to impersonate their domain — enabling phishing campaigns and business email compromise.

DNS & Domain Security
83.9%
Domain Resolution Unprotected
91.9%
Unauthorized Certificate Issuance Possible
21%
Unencrypted Access Possible

Unprotected domain infrastructure allows attackers to intercept resolution and issue unauthorized certificates — redirecting customers to attacker-controlled systems.

Encryption & Disclosure Readiness
91.9%
Modern Encryption Adopted
50%
Coordinated Disclosure Program
9.7%
Session Token Exposure Risk
6.5%
Cookies Missing HttpOnly

Modern encryption standards and coordinated disclosure programs demonstrate security maturity. Weak session management exposes user credentials to interception.

Unauthorized Access Vectors
4.8%
Unencrypted File Transfer Open
1.6%
Remote Desktop Accessible
3.2%
Mail Server Directly Accessible
3.2%
Database Port Accessible

Exposed administrative interfaces provide direct attack vectors for unauthorized access and lateral movement across internal systems.

Technology Maturity
30.6%
CDN Protected
19.4%
Management Panel Accessible
8.1%
Self-Signed Certificate

Modern infrastructure investment correlates with lower breach probability. Exposed administration panels and legacy software create easily exploitable entry points.

Certificate & Vulnerability Management
8.1%
Expiring <30d
3.2%
Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities
3.2%
Active Exploitation (CISA KEV)

Expired or expiring certificates cause service disruptions and reduce trust. Known CVEs indicate unpatched, exploitable vulnerabilities.
