A proactive cybersecurity evaluation covers multiple security domains to ensure comprehensive protection, including:

  • Email security – Protects against phishing and unauthorized access.

  • Network filtering – Monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic.

  • DNS security – Prevents domain hijacking and DNS-based attacks.

  • System reputation – Checks if company assets are blacklisted or flagged as risky.

  • Web encryption – Ensures proper SSL/TLS encryption is in place.

  • Application security – Identifies vulnerabilities in web applications.

  • Software patching – Ensures outdated software is updated to close security gaps.

  • System hosting – Verifies the security of cloud and on-premise hosting environments.

By scanning these critical areas, organizations can detect weaknesses and strengthen their cybersecurity defenses proactively.
