Cybersecurity is a top priority for most organizations, with 96% of CEOs saying it is critical for success. However, most CEOs worry their organizations cannot fully defend against cyber attacks.

To help organizations achieve their cybersecurity goals, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) updated the widely adopted Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) in February 2024. NIST CSF 2.0 has an expanded scope, making it applicable to all organizations across sectors and types.

However, an EASM solution is only as good as the asset visibility it provides. After all, you can’t effectively manage what you can’t see. For this reason, external asset discovery is the foundation of EASM, dictating the overall effectiveness of an EASM strategy or solution.

WhoisXML API Integration Is Now Available on Cyware

WhoisXML API Integration Is Now Available on Cyware

WhoisXML API is thrilled to announce the new integration with Cyware, a leading provider of threat intelligence management, security collaboration, and cyber fusion solutions. This collaboration will allow IT and security teams, MSSPs, and other Cyware customers to automate their collection of accurate and up-to-date domain and IP information.

The integration of WHOIS API into the Cyware Orchestrate platform is set to enable users to obtain much-needed context when responding to security incidents involving domains and provide automated domain and IP data enrichment for reverse DNS lookups and domain reputation queries.

WHOIS API delivers various advantages and capabilities through this integration, including:

February 2024: Domain Activity Highlights

WhoisXML API researchers analyzed more than 6.6 million domains registered between 1 and 29 February 2024 to identify global domain registration trends, including the most popular registrars, registrant countries, and top-level domain (TLD) extensions.

We also studied the TLD usage and associated threat type breakdown of more than 1 million domains detected as indicators of compromise (IoCs) in February.

Finally, we summarized the findings and provided links to the threat reports produced during the period with DNS, IP, and domain intelligence sources.

Premium DNS Database Coverage Increased by 578%

We are thrilled to announce that the coverage of our premium DNS Database Download significantly improved over the past few months. The most recent measurement in 2024 showed that the database’s total number of DNS records increased by 578% compared to May 2023. 

More precisely, there was a 1,313% increase in A records and a 700% increase in the total number of AAAA records. Overall, DNS Database Download now contains more than 35.3 billion DNS records.

January 2024: Domain Activity Highlights

WhoisXML API researchers analyzed more than 7 million domains registered between 1 and 31 January 2024 to identify global domain registration trends, including the most popular registrars, registrant countries, and top-level domain (TLD) extensions.

We also studied the TLD usage and threat type breakdown of more than 1.1 million domains detected as indicators of compromise (IoCs) in January.

Finally, we summarized the findings and provided links to the threat reports produced during the period with DNS, IP, and domain intelligence sources.
