This vendor risk report is based on UpGuard's continuous monitoring of Internet2'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.
The X-Powered-By header reveals information about specific technology used on the server. This information can be used to exploit vulnerabilities. The server configuration should be changed to remove this header.
Browsers may display this website's content in frames. This can lead to clickjacking attacks.
No valid Content Security Policy is implemented. This increases the risk of XSS and clickjacking attacks.
Browsers may interpret files as a different MIME type than what is specified in the Content-Type HTTP header. This can lead to MIME confusion attacks.
Ensuring the server information header is not exposed reduces the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
The website's Referrer Policy is not configured to allow unsafe information to be sent in the referrer header.
Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposing a specific version makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
Ensuring the ASP.NET version header is not exposed makes it harder for attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.

DMARC policy is p=none. This provides no protection against fraudulent emails. The DMARC policy should be migrated to p=quarantine, and eventually p=reject.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record is too lenient as to which domains are allowed to send email on the domain's behalf. This record should preferably not use the ~all mechanism, as this does not instruct the mail receiver to reject messages from unauthorised sources. When DMARC is not being enforced, -all should be used on the SPF record.
DMARC protects against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records prevent spammers from sending messages with forged addresses.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record passes basic syntax checks.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record does not include the ptr mechanism.
The 'FTP' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.
The 'IMAP' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.
The 'POP3' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.
The 'SMTP' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.
The 'SSH' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.
The 'DNS' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.
The 'HTTP' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.
The 'HTTPS' service is running and exposed to the internet. The configuration of the server should be reviewed and unnecessary ports closed.
The domain does not contain a valid Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) record. A CAA record indicates which Certificate Authorities (CAs) are authorized to issue certificates for a domain.
No unregistered MX records that could lead to receiving mail on behalf of the target organization were detected.
Domain has not expired.
No dangling DNS records that could lead to subdomain takeover were detected.
Domain does not expire within 30 days.
DNSSEC records prevent third parties from forging the records that guarantee a domain's identity.
SSL is the standard encryption method for browsing websites. Enabling SSL requires installing an SSL certificate on the site.
The site's hostname does not match the SSL certificate. The domain name should be added to the certificate, either as a Subject Alternative Name or as the Common Name.
The certificate presented by this domain was not issued by a trusted certificate authority and therefore cannot be verified by browsers.
Without HSTS enforced, people browsing this site are more susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. The server should be configured to support HSTS.
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.
The site's certificate chain was checked against our list of revoked certificates.
All HTTP requests are redirected to HTTPS.
SSL certificate has not expired.
No insecure SSL/TLS versions are available for this site.
A complete SSL certificate chain was presented by the server for this domain.
SSL intermediate and root certificates do not expire within 20 days.
The SSL certificate presented by the server has an expiration period shorter than 398 days.
SSL certificate does not expire in less than 20% of its total valid period.
Industry standard SHA-256 encryption in use.
The HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header contains the includeSubDomains directive.
The site's public certificate provides at least 112 bits of security strength.
TLS connections to the site do not support any weak cipher suites.
No listable directories were found on the server.
Ensuring WordPress plugin versions are not exposed can make it harder for attackers to find exploits against your site.
Exposing the list of users on a WordPress site (via the WP-JSON API) can assist attackers in brute forcing credentials, as well as constitute a privacy risk.
No cloud storage service configured to allow anonymous file listing was detected.
The domain index is not a listable directory.
This website does not appear to contain malicious code.
This IP/domain has not been reported as a source of botnet activity in the last 30 days.
This IP/domain did not appear on any list of IPs and domains known to perform brute force login attempts in the last 30 days.
This IP/domain has been reported for distributing malware in the last 30 days.
This IP/domain has not been reported for performing unsolicited scanning in the last 30 days.
This website does not appear to be attempting to install unwanted software.
This site does not appear to be a forgery or imitation of another website.
This IP/domain has not been reported as a phishing site in the last 30 days.
This IP/domain has not been reported as a source of botnet activity in the last 90 days.
This IP/domain did not appear on any list of IPs and domains known to perform brute force login attempts in the last 90 days.
This IP/domain has been reported for distributing malware in the last 90 days.
This IP/domain has not been reported for performing unsolicited scanning in the last 90 days.
This IP/domain has not been reported as a phishing site in the last 90 days.
OpenSSH 9.9 has vulnerabilities which might be exploitable under certain conditions. Affected domains should be checked to determine which vulnerabilities might pose a risk.
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.
The server does not support SSLv3, and is not vulnerable to the POODLE attack.
The server does not offer RSA_EXPORT cipher suites, so clients are not vulnerable to the FREAK attack.
The server is using strong Diffie-Hellman parameters and is not vulnerable to the Logjam attack.
