Learn more.
What is Parked Domain Classification in Ionix?
Parked Domain Classification is a feature within the Ionix Exposure Management platform that enables security teams to automatically identify and categorize parked domains—registered but inactive web addresses. This capability helps organizations reduce alert noise, maintain comprehensive visibility, and apply risk-based prioritization to parked domains, ensuring resources are focused on active threats while still monitoring dormant assets. Read the announcement.
How does Ionix classify and manage parked domains?
Ionix automatically classifies parked domains as distinct assets, separating them from operational domains. The platform applies tailored security policies, adjusted alert thresholds, and streamlined reporting for parked domains. Security events on parked domains trigger alerts only when they meet specific risk thresholds, reducing unnecessary notifications. Domains can be reclassified between parked and active status with one click, ensuring security controls match current business needs. Learn more.
