Listed below are the specific insights currently available:

Insight NameDescription
CASB integration statusWe detect unhealthy CASB integrations.
Dangling A RecordsA record is pointing to an IPv4 address that you might no longer control. You are at risk of a subdomain takeover.
Dangling AAAA RecordsA record is pointing to an IPv6 address that you might no longer control. You are at risk of a subdomain takeover.
Dangling CNAME RecordsA record is pointing to a resource that cannot be found. You are at risk of a subdomain takeover.
DMARC Record ErrorsWe detect an incorrect or missing DMARC record.
Domains missing TLS EncryptionWe detect that there is no TLS encryption for this domain.
Domains supporting older TLS versionThis domain supports older versions of the TLS protocol.
Domains without ‘Always Use HTTPS’HTTP requests to this domain may not redirect to its HTTPS equivalent.
Domains without HSTSHTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), is a header which allows a website to specify and enforce security policy in client web browsers. This policy enforcement protects secure websites from downgrade attacks SSL stripping and cookie hijacking.
Exposed RDP ServersWe detect an RDP server that is exposed to the public Internet.

Unassigned Access seatsWe detect a Zero Trust subscription that is not configured yet.
Unprotected Cloudflare TunnelsWe detect an application that is served by a Cloudflare Tunnel but not protected by a corresponding Access policy.
Unproxied A RecordsThis DNS record is not proxied by Cloudflare. Cloudflare can not protect this origin because it is exposed to the public Internet.
Unproxied AAAA RecordsThis DNS record is not proxied by Cloudflare. Cloudflare can not protect this origin because it is exposed to the public Internet.
Unproxied CNAME RecordsThis DNS record is not proxied by Cloudflare. Cloudflare can not protect this origin because it is exposed to the public Internet.
Users without MFAWe detect that a Cloudflare administrative user has not enabled multifactor authentication.
