How proxy services can impact your IP reputation

What is this and why are we alerting to it?

Anonymous proxies are used to hide the real source of internet traffic. Attackers often use proxies to bypass security measures or conduct illegal activities. Using proxies can make it difficult to track harmful activities and could result in legal or reputational risks for the organisation.

How do I resolve this?

KYND will alert you if IP addresses in your organisation have been linked to anonymous proxy services. These proxies can obscure the origin of internet activity and may be used for malicious purposes. Being associated with proxy services for malicious purposes damages the client’s reputation and could lead to mistrust. You should review this IP address to understand its use and assess any risks. Enhancing monitoring and restricting proxy usage can help improve security. Check your KYND ON account or report for a full list of the affected IPs and further information about the risk.

If you think you have resolved this issue you should use the “We’ve fixed this” button to queue the risk for rescanning.
