Data Leak Susceptibility: Unmasking Vulnerabilities in the Age of Watergate, Pelican Brief, and House of Cards

In the murky world of espionage and cyber threats, organizations of all sizes are vulnerable to data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other malicious activities. Just as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein meticulously uncovered the Watergate scandal, and Darby Shaw navigated the treacherous legal landscape in "The Pelican Brief," organizations today need a keen eye for detecting and addressing external threats.

ThreatNG Security Ratings emerges as a powerful tool, akin to a modern-day Deep Throat, providing organizations with a comprehensive assessment of their external attack surface and digital risk exposure. Much like the intricate political machinations of "House of Cards," organizations must navigate the complex cybersecurity landscape with strategic foresight and decisive action.

Imagine ThreatNG Security Ratings as a sophisticated intelligence agency, piecing together a meticulous dossier on an organization's digital vulnerabilities. It meticulously harvests and analyzes Technical, Strategic, Operational, and Financial data across the open, deep, and dark web, painting a holistic picture of an organization's entire digital presence.

The "X Susceptibility and eXposure" score in "Data Leak Susceptibility" is a crucial indicator of an organization's vulnerability to data breaches. This score is derived from a deep dive into an organization's Cloud and SaaS Exposure, Dark Web Presence, and Domain Intelligence.

Unveiling Cloud and SaaS Exposure: Exposed Open Buckets, Unsanctioned Access, and Impersonations

The cloud offers immense flexibility and scalability but introduces new security challenges. ThreatNG Security Ratings meticulously scans an organization's cloud environment, identifying exposed open buckets, unsanctioned access, and impersonations. These vulnerabilities often remain hidden, leaving organizations susceptible to data breaches.

Unmasking Dark Web Presence: Unearthing Leaked Credentials and Shadow Activities

The dark web, a clandestine realm of hidden websites and encrypted communications, is a haven for cybercriminals. ThreatNG Security Ratings delves into this shadowy world, uncovering leaked credentials, malware repositories, and discussions about targeted attacks. Organizations can proactively protect their data by identifying their presence on the dark web.

Decoding Domain Intelligence: Unraveling Domain Ownership, Reputation, and Vulnerabilities

Domain names serve as the gateways to an organization's online presence. ThreatNG Security Ratings scrutinizes an organization's domain portfolio, evaluating ownership, reputation, and underlying vulnerabilities. This deep dive ensures that every domain is secure and trustworthy, safeguarding an organization's brand integrity.
