What is a
Risky Profile?

In today’s digital landscape, organizations face an ever-growing array of web threats targeting individuals. From malicious websites to phishing scams, the risks are numerous and constantly evolving.

Without insight into users’ browsing behaviors and the potential dangers they encounter, businesses are vulnerable to data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage. Identifying risky browsing behaviors is crucial for assessing the security posture of the organization, so to perform preemptive action and ensuring the security of both users and sensitive data.
