Type of Issues Detected

The ThreatFactor solution was designed specifically to help organizations quickly identify issues on your websites that may tarnish your organization’s image or adversely affect your customers, partners and employees such as:
Website Defacements
Malicious users are trolling the Internet specifically for websites to deface. Oftentimes, these websites contain offensive language or images and likely result in tarnished image.
Compliance and Privacy Issues
ThreatFactor can detect issues that may adversely affect compliance or user privacy such as: forms that submit passwords unencrypted, pages that accept user information but don’t include a privacy policy, etc.
Web Exploits
Oftentimes, attackers compromise a website and install exploits to attack the website visitors. These are often classified as silent defacements since the site does not look like it was visually changed. Sophos noted that the vast majority of websites hosting malware (around 80%) are legitimate sites that have been compromised . Furthermore, ThreatFactor can detect websites that have been modified in such a way to send private customer information (such as login information) to a third party.
Sensitive Information Leaks
Websites can leak sensitive information through detailed error messages, misinformed blogger employees, and files that were not intended to be provided to the public.
System Failures
ThreatFactor can detect many types of website system problems such as:
  • Broken Links
  • Error and warning messages
  • Poorly configured servers or servers with default configuration
  • Expired SSL certificates
  • Server errors
