Question:

What is the Risk Score?

Answer:

What is the Risk Score?

Available as an optional Iris add-on, the DomainTools Risk score predicts how likely a domain is to be malicious. The score comes from two distinct algorithms: Proximity to Known Maliciousness examines how closely connected a domain is to other known-bad domains, while Threat Profile leverages machine learning to model how closely the domain resembles others used for spam, phishing or malware. The strongest signal from either of those algorithms becomes the overall Risk Score.
