## Vendor risk summary
This vendor risk report is based on UpGuard's continuous monitoring of Cytiva's security posture using open-source, commercial, and proprietary threat intelligence feeds. The results are summarized into a security rating based on the analysis of hundreds of individual checks across five risk categories: website security, email security, phishing & malware, brand & reputation risk, and network security.

## Security categories

### Website Security

- Fail — Secure cookies not used
  - When secure cookies are not used, there is an increased risk of third parties intercepting information contained in these cookies. The website configuration should be changed so that all 'Set-Cookie' headers include 'secure'.
- Fail — X-Frame-Options is not deny or sameorigin
  - Browsers may display this website's content in frames. This can lead to clickjacking attacks.
- Fail — CSP implemented unsafely
  - The Content Security Policy may not restrict sources appropriately, or may contain 'unsafe-inline' without the use of a nonce or hash. This increases the risk of XSS attacks.
- Fail — HttpOnly cookies not used
  - When HttpOnly cookies are not used, the cookies can be accessed on the client, which enables certain type of client-side attacks. The website configuration should be changed to enforce HttpOnly cookies.
- Fail — CSP contains unsafe-eval
  - The Content Security Policy is implemented with unsafe-eval, reducing protection against XSS attacks.
- Pass — Server information header not exposed
  - Ensuring the server information header is not exposed reduces the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
- Pass — X-Powered-By header not exposed
  - Information about specific technology used on the server is obscured.
- Pass — CSP implemented without insecure active sources
  - The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure active sources.
- Pass — 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.
- Pass — 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.
- Pass — ASP.NET version header not exposed
  - Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposed makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
- Pass — CSP implemented without insecure passive sources
  - The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure passive (img/media) sources.
- Pass — X-Content-Type-Options is not nosniff
  - Browsers are prevented from interpreting files as a different MIME type to what is specified in the Content-Type HTTP header. This helps mitigate MIME confusion attacks.
- Pass — No unmaintained page detected
  - The page appears to be maintained.

### Network

- Fail — 'HTTP' port open
  - The 'HTTP' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.

  - DNSSEC records prevent third parties from forging the records that guarantee a domain's identity.
- Pass — Domain not flagged as inactive
  - Domain is not flagged as inactive.
- Pass — Domain not pending deletion
  - Domain is not pending deletion with the registrar.
- Pass — Domain not pending restoration
  - Domain is not pending restoration with the registrar.

  - Domain is not under a DNS resolution hold with the registrar.
- Pass — Domain free of registry DNS resolution hold
  - Domain is not under a DNS resolution hold with the registry itself.
- Pass — Domain renewal not prohibited by registry
  - Domain is not prohibited from renewal at the registry itself.

### Encryption

- Fail — Domain was not found on the HSTS preload list
  - The domain was not found on the HSTS preload list. Users who visit the website for the first time will be vulnerable to MITM attacks. The requirements for inclusion on the preload list are specified by hstspreload.org.
- Fail — 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.
