Why External IP Checks Matter
Every business with an internet connection exposes IP addresses to the outside world. These act as gateways into your network. If they’re misconfigured, unsecured, or forgotten about, they become an open invitation to cybercriminals.
CyberGP’s External IP Security Check scans and analyses your organisation’s public-facing systems to identify weak spots such as open ports, unsecured administrative consoles, vulnerable services, and unmanaged devices.
Many SMEs are unaware of how much they expose — from legacy servers to cloud services — until it’s too late. Our checks shine a light on these blind spots so you can lock them down before attackers exploit them.
Real-World Scenarios We See Every Week
Forgotten Servers
A test server used during a project is left online with default credentials. Attackers scan the internet continuously — within hours, it’s exploited for ransomware or crypto-mining.
Open Remote Access
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) left open to the world is a leading cause of ransomware breaches. Our scans identify these risks so you can close or secure them immediately.
Unpatched Firewalls
A firewall left with outdated firmware exposes known vulnerabilities. CyberGP checks highlight these so you patch before criminals exploit them.
Exposed IoT Devices
Printers, cameras, and smart devices often sit on the same network as business-critical systems. We identify internet-exposed devices that attackers can use as entry points.
Email & Web Servers
Misconfigured email servers can allow spam relaying, while poorly secured web apps leak sensitive data. We flag these before they damage your reputation.
