Scan subdomains with Digital Risk Analyzer
Your digital environment extends far beyond your primary domain. This includes subdomains that frequently host applications, stage environments, and legacy services that attackers target. Digital Risk Analyzer helps you discover and assess all associated subdomains; detect potential threats early; and maintain continuous, comprehensive domain security.
Use cases
Here are key use cases that show how including subdomains in regular scanning strengthens your security posture across distributed environments:
- When your team launches a staging or test subdomain and forgets to secure it, scanning helps detect exposures before attackers do.
- When older subdomains remain active after a migration, scanning reveals outdated components that could become entry points.
- When marketing or partner teams create campaign subdomains, scanning ensures they aren’t vulnerable to phishing or domain takeover.
