Hazard report

Introduction

The Hazard Report API offers a unique set of cybersecurity metrics that helps businesses combat cyber threats proactively and reactively. It leverages advanced algorithms and third-party sources to monitor IP addresses against trusted blacklist sites and identify anonymizers like VPNs and proxies.

It also assesses the likelihood of every global IP address being assigned to a hosting environment. For more information on how the Hazard Report is prepared, please refer to our Understanding the Hazard Report support article.
