## Vendor risk summary
This vendor risk report is based on UpGuard's continuous monitoring of Festo'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 — 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.
- Pass — CSP implemented without insecure active sources
  - The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure active sources.
- Pass — CSP implemented without insecure passive sources
  - The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure passive (img/media) sources.
- Pass — CSP implemented without unsafe-eval
  - A Content Security Policy is implemented to help protect against XSS and clickjacking attacks.

### Email

- Pass — DMARC policy is not p=none
  - DMARC reject policy provides the most effective protection against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.
- Pass — DMARC policy exists
  - DMARC protects against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.
- Pass — Strict SPF filtering - not using +all
  - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record strictly enforces specific domains allowed to send email on its behalf.
- Pass — SPF syntax correct
  - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record passes basic syntax checks.
- Pass — DMARC policy percentage is default
  - DMARC policy percentage is set to default 100%, ensuring all mail is covered by the policy.
