Defense against external and internal cybersecurity threats
Ongoing platform security and compliance testing
ZeroBounce works alongside HackerOne, a community of hackers and researchers that are the leaders in Attack Resistance Management.
HackerOne continuously tests the ZeroBounce platform to seek out potential vulnerabilities within given parameters. Together, we’re always looking for ways to expose opportunities for bad actors to attack and eliminate them before they ever threaten your data.
Penetration testing
In a digital world, you need the confidence that your highly-sensitive customer information is safe in the event of a true cybersecurity threat.
ZeroBounce partners with CyberSmart Defense to execute various types of penetration testing. This simulates attacks from inside and outside the system to expose potential vulnerabilities. CyberSmart Defense has extensive knowledge of the ZeroBounce platform and is tremendously effective at helping us secure our platform.
Web application firewall and DDoS protection
ZeroBounce uses Cloudflare Enterprise, an award-winning security solution that offers a web application firewall (WAF) to our main site and members area.
The WAF helps our security team monitor and filter any unwanted or harmful traffic from accessing our platform or the protected data. It also guarantees 100% uptime, meaning you’ll always have access to your account and tools.
That means protection against potential DDoS threats by restricting the number of server requests allowed before they can take the platform offline.
Sophisticated login and data security
Okta identity protection
New ZeroBounce members gain access to Okta identity protection integration, which offers a secure, passwordless, universal login complete with attack protection.
With Okta, you can easily control who has access to your ZeroBounce account from anywhere at any time.
Two-factor authentication
Protect your ZeroBounce account with your favorite authenticator app, SMS, or email. 2FA helps protect users against common security threats caused by low-quality or weak passwords.
Password-encrypted downloads
All of your email validation data is password-encrypted at ZeroBounce. When uploading or downloading data to improve your email hygiene, you get a unique encryption key that allows only you to access the files, including the ZeroBounce team.
Automatic file deletion after 30 days
Worried about files left in your ZeroBounce account? We automatically delete any files uploaded for email verification or email deliverability testing after 30 days.
Unknown IP alerts
ZeroBounce monitors all accounts for suspicious activity from unknown IP addresses. We’ll automatically alert you of any strange activity so that you can protect your account proactively.
Our security team actively monitors and blacklists IP addresses that are known offenders demonstrating malicious actions against the platform or user accounts.
