New beta release | Rich domain reputation data via API – register now

Welcome to a world of rich reputation data

For over a decade, the researchers have had a dedicated team observing domains 24/7. This will come as no surprise because, as the team discussed in the new domain report released in July, “No matter what you’re doing on the internet, legitimate or otherwise, you must (almost always) use a domain name.” Domains are part of the fabric of DNS.

Until now, the only data shared with users are DNS blocklists (DNSBLs) for email and Response Policy Zones (RPZ) for DNS Firewalls. However, researchers continuously monitor global signals to create these lists, compiling vast swathes of data relating to domains.

It’s time to enable our users to drink at the fountain of reputation!

Domain Reputation Data via SIA

This data provides detailed insight into every domain the research team observes (and that’s a lot of domains). The following metadata fields are included in the dataset:

• Reputation
  • Great
  • Good
  • Neutral
  • Bad
• Malicious
• Registrar
• Date created
• First seen timestamp
• Last seen timestamp
• IPs of email senders
• Reputation changes over time
• Nameserver history and reputation
• Threat type

How is the data accessed?

Easy. By API – making it easy to either use as a standalone dataset or to enrich existing data sources.

Who could use this data?

There are multiple uses for this data-rich domain intelligence. Here are just a few ideas:

• Deliverability specialists, such as Email Service Providers (ESPs) – monitor the reputation of sending domains.
• Registries – to check the overall “health” of their TLDs.
• Registrars – to assess new domains they are taking on and monitor the health of their registered domains.
• Hosting companies – examine IPs’ reverse DNS (rDNS) and monitor the sending domains from within their network.
• Security vendors – enhance domain-centric products with this data.
