Subdomain Takeover Susceptibility Assessment for Digital Risk and External Attack Surface Management

As your business expands, you will use many tools to help build your presence and deliver your products. Over time, some tools may fall out of line with how you run your business.  Retiring a tool and bringing new tools online is an excellent practice for growing a business.  When exiting and onboarding new tools, we recommend practicing good hygiene with IT security, especially when it comes to subdomains.  Unfortunately, in today’s world, some bad actors try to find vulnerable and unsecured subdomains to take over, allowing them to infiltrate, disrupt and disrupt your business operations.

Subdomain takeovers involve another party (an adversary) re-registering stale or abandoned third-party services that once belonged to the respective organization. After taking over these subdomains, these parties can use them to gather information or bypass existing security controls. ThreatNG discovers, analyzes, reports, and continuously monitors all domains of any organization and all third parties for subdomain takeover susceptibility. 

ThreatNG empowers organizations to check themselves and everyone across their entire ecosystem of partners/third-parties/supply chain for susceptibility to subdomain takeovers or hijacking. With other external attack surface management (EASM) solutions only checking for a handful of services/software, ThreatNG incorporates a growing and updated list of services/software in lockstep with the security community. This ongoing updated list facilitates a better overall asset inventory of services/software associated with the organization and its third parties.

Are you, all your third parties, and supply chain vulnerable to subdomain takeover? Do you regularly inventory, assess, and monitor for possible subdomain takeovers?

Regardless of how you answer the questions above, ThreatNG can help you with the prevention of subdomain takeover.  Give us a call today.
