Enhancing your defenses: Key DRA updates from 2024


2024 saw a dramatic rise in sophisticated cyber threats, making robust security posture management more critical than ever. Throughout the year, Site24x7's Digital Risk Analyzer evolved to meet these challenges, empowering enterprises to proactively identify, analyze, and mitigate digital risks. This year-end roundup highlights the key enhancements and features that helped our users stay ahead of the curve in 2024.

Benchmarking security against industry standards

Understanding your security posture relative to your industry peers is crucial for effective risk management. In 2024, DRA's Industry Index feature provided invaluable insights, leveraging AI to continuously scan high-traffic domains, categorize them by industry, and generate benchmark scores. This allowed users to identify areas where their security lagged behind industry best practices and prioritize improvements.

Empowering proactive risk management with public reports

Transparency and collaboration are essential for effective security. This year, Digital Risk Analyzer expanded its public reporting capabilities, enabling users to easily share critical security information with stakeholders, vendors, and partners. This fostered greater transparency and facilitated proactive risk mitigation across the digital ecosystem.

Streamlining domain management and discovery

Managing and analyzing numerous domains can be a complex undertaking. Digital Risk Analyzer streamlined this process in 2024 with several key enhancements:
  • Bulk domain import: Users can now efficiently import and analyze multiple domains simultaneously, saving valuable time and resources.
  • Organizational domain discovery: Identifying all domains associated with an organization is crucial for comprehensive risk assessment. Digital Risk Analyzer now facilitates this process, ensuring complete visibility into the organization's digital footprint.
  • Open port detection: Identifying open ports is a fundamental step in vulnerability management. Digital Risk Analyzer's enhanced port scanning capabilities provided deeper insights into potential security gaps.

Strengthening vulnerability management with enhanced CVE detection

Addressing known vulnerabilities is a cornerstone of any robust security strategy. In 2024, Digital Risk Analyzer significantly enhanced its CVE detection capabilities:
  • Expanded informational assertions: We added new informational assertions to provide users with richer context and deeper insights into identified vulnerabilities.
  • Dedicated CVE details section: A new dedicated section within the tool allows for easy access to detailed information about specific CVEs, facilitating faster remediation. This enhancement helps users understand the severity and potential impact of each vulnerability, enabling prioritized action and efficient mitigation.

Looking ahead to 2025

Site24x7 remains committed to providing cutting-edge digital risk management solutions. In 2025,  Digital Risk Analyzer will continue to evolve, incorporating new features and enhancements to help enterprises navigate the ever-changing threat landscape. We're focused on delivering even more powerful AI-driven insights, expanding our vulnerability database, and further streamlining the risk assessment process. Our goal is to empower your organization to address security challenges proactively and build a resilient digital future. Stay tuned for exciting updates in the new year!
