IP Address Geolocation with Confidence Area and Hazard Report API

Introduction

Our IP Address Geolocation with Confidence Area and Hazard Report API offers businesses a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that includes both reactive and proactive approaches to combat cyber threats.

The API is built upon the same data and accuracy as our IP Geolocation with Confidence Area API, but with the added benefit of our innovative Hazard Report. Our Hazard Report is a unique cybersecurity metrics set that provides businesses with the tools to identify and mitigate potential threats.

With the IP Address Geolocation with Confidence Area and Hazard Report API, businesses can take proactive steps to mitigate potential threats, protecting themselves and their customers from the devastating effects of cyber attacks. To learn more about how our Hazard Report is prepared, please refer to our Understanding the Hazard Report support article page.
