Attack Surface Discovery

SecurityTrails excels at identifying all internet-facing assets, including shadow IT, providing a complete view of potential vulnerabilities. Its proprietary global sensor network maps an organization's attack surface 2x faster than some competitors. This feature is invaluable for understanding the full scope of an organization's digital footprint and potential blind spots.

Domain Monitoring

This feature offers in-depth monitoring of domain names, including DNS record changes, WHOIS data modifications, and SSL certificate updates. With a reported 99.9% uptime, alerts are triggered within 5 minutes of a detected change. This ensures users are promptly informed about critical modifications to their domain infrastructure.

IP Address Intelligence

SecurityTrails provides both historical and current IP address data, including geolocation, ownership, and associated domains. Tests reveal a 15% more accurate IP geolocation data compared to some services, enhancing the precision of threat identification. This allows for more effective tracking and analysis of malicious activities.

SSL Certificate Monitoring

The platform monitors SSL certificate expiration, changes, and vulnerabilities, providing timely alerts to prevent costly incidents. A case study showed that SecurityTrails helped a major e-commerce company avert an SSL expiration incident. This proactive monitoring ensures website security and maintains customer trust.

SecurityTrails offers comprehensive DNS data, including historical records, live DNS lookups, and DNS zone transfers. Updated every 5 minutes, the database provides near real-time insights into DNS-related threats.
