Howdy all —

I wanted to share summary stats from the Dorkbot web application security service for Feb-2020.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Dorkbot currently serves over 2,020 higher education institutions, state/local government agencies, school districts 
and other non-profits from across 7 continents (and 205 countries).

Those served include 99% of all R1, R2, R3, M1, M2 campuses and 100% of HBCUs and US Tribal Colleges.

[month = FEB 2020]

Total entities subscribed = 2,020 (+4 compared to previous month)
Total entities with verified vulnerabilities = 539 (27% of subscribers)

Signing up for Dorkbot is fast & free. 
You will receive realtime alerts for any verified vulnerabilities along with a custom monthly report.

In the coming year, we do hope to fold in some additional functionality for basic Dorkbot-ing, namely:
- editing subscriber preferences (exclusions, domains)
- upload more targets to scan
- Dorkbot kill switch
- support for Intranet scanning (e.g., proxy variable)
- and more if we can get the time

Please see the following for more information:

Feel free to share the signup page with any campuses, school districts, or non-profits that might be able to benefit 
from this service.


thanks,
