Protect your business against cybercrime

Anything connected to the internet is part of an organisation’s attack surface and a domain is something criminals use to identify vulnerable access points.

CyberProfiler is a tool designed to give you an Attackers Eye View™ of your online presence. Developed by STORM Guidance, our safe and non-invasive scan uses an advanced combination of Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) from public sources. The report alerts you to key information that criminals can see and use to profile your business in preparation for cyber attacks and provides recommendations to protect your business.

The recommendations will help you optimise your online presence, reduce or change public information where possible, and limit opportunities available for attackers to defraud you and your clients.

Business owners, don’t wait – get a scan today and have your IT department review it. (STORM Guidance will email access to your report within 24 hours).

This is a one-time purchase with no ongoing subscription. Existing customers get a 50% discount on all subsequent scans.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a vulnerability scan do? / What is vulnerability scanning?

Vulnerability scans are a valuable tool for organisations striving to harden their cyber security. They scan your website for vulnerabilities, quickly and accurately discovering weak points and providing remediation recommendations.
In fact, they work by assessing the domain (e.g., yourcompanyname.com), so whether you have an active website or not, the scan will let you know what digital risks and vulnerabilities your company might be exposed to.
If you’re wondering how to prevent cyber crime from affecting your business and want to know what cyber criminals see when surveilling your company, then a vulnerability scan is one of the best places to start.

The benefits of vulnerability scanning and mitigating human error

As we’re all aware, cyber attacks in South Africa and globally are on the rise, and a proactive approach to risk mitigation is important to respond to these threats.
A good vulnerability scan will provide a quick and detailed snapshot of a company’s digital risks, allowing the company to remediate them before a malicious actor can take advantage. They’re able to assess a multitude of potential risks, not just the risks associated to a website.
One of the risks a good vulnerability scan will report on is potential DNS (Domain Name System) misconfigurations. These are a common issue that can make companies vulnerable to a wide range of cyber attacks including Ransomware attack and Phishing attack.
Many IT professionals still rely on manual processes to assess misconfiguration threats in a client’s digital environment.
Reliance on a manual approach opens the door to human error in missing or mis-categorizing critical misconfigurations. It’s intricate and time-consuming and therefore often overlooked, particularly after organisations have implemented new network or system changes.
An automated vulnerability scan is an effective tool for cyber crime management and can be used to mitigate potential in human error. It’s quick, accurate, and saves hours of an IT professional’s time.

What does the report provide?

Provides businesses with a rapid snapshot of their digital estate from an attacker’s perspective with Findings, Observations, and Insights.
Highlights exposed systems that criminals leverage to deploy malicious software such as Ransomware.
Actively scans for vulnerable technologies and configurations which malicious actors use to defraud you, your customers, suppliers, or other third parties.
Provides remediation recommendations, arming organisations with the knowledge to mitigate exploitable vulnerabilities.
Analysis is driven by advanced intelligence tools that are continuously updated to include the latest cyber risks.

What sort of risks might the report reveal?

Why you might be vulnerable to phishing attacks that target customers by spoofing your domain
Where you might have insecure protocols with data being shared in plaintext
How malicious emails could be sent from your domain
Why you might be more prone to attacks because of clear access point to attackers
Where you are revealing too much information that can be spoofed by hackers
Lists of expired certificates which present a danger
Associated domains which may leave you vulnerable and provide easy targets for attackers
Domain variants that attackers might register to appear legitimate when impersonating your company in phishing scams
Lists of DNS (Domain Name System) misconfigurations which can make it easier for hackers to access sensitive information like passwords or steal personal data
Lists of associated domains and subdomains for review so as to remove unused, reducing your online attack surface and helping to prevent malicious activity

The report is made available via secure access to your CyberProfiler portal for viewing or downloading. Instructions on how to access your CyberProfiler portal will be provided in the email.

How often should I do a vulnerability scan?

If you’ve never done one, the time is now. Because cyber criminals use these same tools to quickly assess the easiest entry-points to breach a company, vulnerability scanning can be seen as a pre-emptive first line of defence against cyber threats.
Each organisation will have its own risk management and compliance requirements, but we’d recommend running a scan at least once or twice a year.
Over and above this, you should run a scan after any major system, organisation, or infrastructure change (network changes, new system configurations, new user groups).

What makes CyberProfiler different to other scans?

The team of experts at STORM Guidance specialise in cyber incident response, meaning they help companies deal with cyber breaches like ransomware all the time. Because of this, they know precisely what attackers are looking for and how they usually gain access into systems. It is the only scan (we know of) that is informed by an in-house cyber incident response capability.Each organisation will have its own risk management and compliance requirements, but we’d recommend running a scan at least once or twice a year.Over and above this, you should run a scan after any major system, organisation, or infrastructure change (network changes, new system configurations, new user groups).

The Value of utilising Multiple Vulnerability Scanners (getting a second opinion)

Many organisations employ multiple vulnerability scanners to ensure complete coverage of all their digital assets, resulting in a complete picture.
Not all scanners look for the same things and some are better than others.
If you’re already using a scanning service, getting a second opinion from a credible source can be very valuable – it will either provide you with peace of mind that your current service-provider is doing a great job, or alternatively it could alert you to vulnerabilities that were not picked up in their reports.
