Security Rating

UpGuard's Cyber Security Ratings range from 0 to 950. The higher the score, the better the security practices on the primary domain for VMware.

Website Security

  • Server information header not exposed

    Ensuring the server information header is not exposed reduces the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.

  • X-Powered-By header not exposed

    Information about specific technology used on the server is obscured.

  • Referrer policy is not unsafe-url

    The website's Referrer Policy is not configured to allow unsafe information to be sent in the referrer header.

  • ASP.NET version header not exposing specific ASP.net version

    Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposing a specific version makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.

  • ASP.NET version header not exposed

    Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposed makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.

  • No unmaintained page detected

    The page appears to be maintained.

Email

  • DMARC policy is not p=none

    DMARC reject policy provides the most effective protection against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.

  • DMARC policy exists

    DMARC protects against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.

  • Strict SPF filtering - not using +all

    Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record strictly enforces specific domains allowed to send email on its behalf.

  • SPF syntax correct

    Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record passes basic syntax checks.

  • DMARC policy percentage is default

    DMARC policy percentage is set to default 100%, ensuring all mail is covered by the policy.

  • SPF ptr mechanism not used

    Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record does not include the ptr mechanism.

Network

  • No ports are open

    No open ports were detected.

DNS

  • Domain expires soon

    The domain expires soon, and anyone may be able to purchase it when it expires. You should renew your domain registration ASAP.

  • DNSSEC not enabled

    DNSSEC records prevent third parties from forging the records that guarantee a domain's identity. DNSSEC should be configured for this domain.

  • Domain registrar or registry deletion protection not enabled

    Domain is not protected from unsolicited deletion requests with the registrar or registry. The domain should have clientDeleteProhibited or serverDeleteProhibited set.

  • Domain registrar or registry update protection not enabled

    Domain is not protected from unsolicited update requests with the registrar or registry. The domain should have clientUpdateProhibited or serverUpdateProhibited set.

  • No unregistered MX records detected

    No unregistered MX records that could lead to receiving mail on behalf of the target organization were detected.

  • Domain has not expired

    Domain has not expired.

  • Domain not flagged as inactive

    Domain is not flagged as inactive.

  • Domain not pending deletion

    Domain is not pending deletion with the registrar.

  • Domain not pending restoration

    Domain is not pending restoration with the registrar.

  • Domain registrar or registry transfer protection enabled

    Domain is protected from unsolicited transfer requests.

  • Domain free of registrar DNS resolution hold

    Domain is not under a DNS resolution hold with the registrar.

  • Domain free of registry DNS resolution hold

    Domain is not under a DNS resolution hold with the registry itself.

  • Domain renewal not prohibited by registry

    Domain is not prohibited from renewal at the registry itself.

  • CAA enabled

    The domain contains a valid Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) record. A CAA record indicates which Certificate Authorities (CAs) are authorized to issue certificates for a domain.

Encryption

  • HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) not enforced

    Without HSTS enforced, people browsing this site are more susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. The server should be configured to support HSTS.

  • Weak cipher suites supported in TLS 1.2

    Weak cipher suites can potentially be broken by a well resourced attacker, and should not be supported by the server unless very old devices or browsers must be supported.

  • Certificate not found on our revoked certificate list

    The site's certificate chain was checked against our list of revoked certificates.

  • SSL available

    SSL is supported for this site.

  • HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS

    All HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS.

  • Hostname matches SSL certificate

    The site's hostname matches the SSL certificate.

  • SSL has not expired

    SSL certificate has not expired.

  • Trusted SSL certificate

    The certificate presented by this domain was issued by a trusted certificate authority.

  • No insecure SSL/TLS versions available

    No insecure SSL/TLS versions are available for this site.

  • SSL certificate chain present in server response

    A complete SSL certificate chain was presented by the server for this domain.

  • SSL chain certificates do not expire within 20 days

    SSL intermediate and root certificates do not expire within 20 days.

  • SSL expiration period shorter than 398 days

    The SSL certificate presented by the server has an expiration period shorter than 398 days.

  • SSL has more than 20% of its valid period remaining

    SSL certificate does not expire in less than 20% of its total valid period.

  • Strong SSL algorithm

    Industry standard SHA-256 encryption in use.

  • Strong public certificate key length

    The site's public certificate provides at least 112 bits of security strength.

Vulnerability Management

  • Not vulnerable to CVE-2014-0160 (Heartbleed)

    A bug in OpenSSL's implementation of the TLS heartbeat extension allows access to portions of memory on the targeted host e.g. cryptographic keys and passwords.

  • Not vulnerable to CVE-2014-3566 (POODLE)

    The server does not support SSLv3, and is not vulnerable to the POODLE attack.

  • Not vulnerable to CVE-2015-0204 (FREAK)

    The server does not offer RSA_EXPORT cipher suites, so clients are not vulnerable to the FREAK attack.
