Web Application Protection
30%
Vulnerable to Session Hijacking
51.4%
Vulnerable to Content Injection
50%
Vulnerable to Clickjacking
61.4%
Server Fingerprint Exposed

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

Email Spoofing Protection
7.1%
Vulnerable to Email Impersonation
4.3%
Sender Identity Unverified
4.3%
No Email Authentication

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

DNS & Domain Security
81.4%
Domain Resolution Unprotected
75.7%
Unauthorized Certificate Issuance Possible
12.9%
Unencrypted Access Possible

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

Encryption & Disclosure Readiness

Modern Encryption Adopted
25.7%
Coordinated Disclosure Program
14.3%
Session Token Exposure Risk
11.4%
Cookies Missing HttpOnly

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

Unauthorized Access Vectors
12.9%
Unencrypted File Transfer Open
10%
Remote Desktop Accessible
10%
Mail Server Directly Accessible
10%
Database Port Accessible

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

Technology Maturity

CDN Protected
15.7%
Management Panel Accessible
2.9%
Self-Signed Certificate
2.9%
End-of-Life Software

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

Certificate & Vulnerability Management

Expiring <30d
8.6%
Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities
5.7%
Active Exploitation (CISA KEV)

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