Among the key enhancements introduced in version 7.4 of the IKare reputation scanner, the reputation scanner represents a major new feature. It enables the analysis of a domain name's exposure directly from the Internet, providing a clear view of the externally visible attack surface.
An external perspective
The reputation scanner assesses a domain name's exposure directly from the Internet. This approach identifies publicly accessible assets that could expand an organization's attack surface.
Rather than being confined to an internal assessment, the scanner highlights what is genuinely visible from the outside. Security teams thereby gain a realistic overview of their domain's Internet exposure.
A reputation score to assess exposure
One of the major benefits of this scanner is the generation of a reputation score. This score consolidates the analyzed domain's exposure level, providing a swift, clear metric of its visibility from the Internet.
To complement this analysis, the scanner also generates a comprehensive PDF report, facilitating documentation and remediation efforts by security teams and IT managers.
A clear mapping of exposed assets
The scanner provides structured visibility into several critical components of the external attack surface:
-
the subdomains associated with the analyzed domain
-
the services exposed to the Internet
-
TLS/SSL configurations
-
email security
This consolidated perspective allows for a deeper understanding of how a domain appears from the outside and which components contribute to its exposure.
A new capability for IKare 7.4
With this new reputation scanner, IKare 7.4 delivers an essential capability: viewing your domain through the eyes of an external attacker. By combining a reputation score, in-depth analysis, and an actionable report, this feature offers clear visibility into Internet-facing assets, supporting more effective management of the external attack surface.
