6 threat patterns detected

high

tls connection failed

Could not establish TLS connection

high

phishing

Domain 'portal-guard.com' uses security-themed naming ('portal', 'guard') commonly employed in phishing sites to impersonate enterprise portals, VPN login pages, or security product dashboards. The name pattern is designed to appear legitimate and lower user suspicion. (location: metadata.json: domain)

high

malicious redirect

TLS connection failed (connected=false, cert_valid=false, san_match=false) yet the site is being served over an HTTPS URL. This configuration is consistent with sites that redirect users to different endpoints or serve content through intermediary infrastructure to evade detection, while the front-facing domain has no valid certificate. (location: metadata.json: tls)

medium

hidden content

Page HTML and visible text are both empty despite the domain being active and having a prior scan context. This absence of retrievable content is a strong indicator of cloaking — serving different content to crawlers/scanners versus real users or targeted victims. (location: page.html, page-text.txt)

medium

social engineering

The domain name 'portal-guard.com' is constructed to evoke authority and safety ('guard'), a classic social engineering pattern used to manipulate users into trusting the site and willingly submitting credentials or interacting with malicious content. (location: metadata.json: domain)

medium

brand impersonation

The term 'portal-guard' closely mimics naming conventions used by legitimate security and identity products (e.g., CrowdStrike Falcon, Okta, Palo Alto GlobalProtect, Cisco Umbrella). At 246 days old, the domain is young enough to be purpose-registered for an impersonation campaign. (location: metadata.json: domain, whois.domain_age_days=246)

FAQ: how to interpret this assessment

Common questions teams ask before deciding whether to use this domain in agent workflows.

Is portal-guard.com safe for AI agents to use?

portal-guard.com currently scores 36/100 with a suspicious verdict and low confidence. The goal is to protect agents from high-risk context before they act on it. Treat this as a decision signal: higher scores suggest lower observed risk, while lower scores mean you should add review or block this domain.

How should I interpret the score and verdict?

Use the score as a policy threshold: 80–100 is safe, 50–79 is caution, 20–49 is suspicious, and 0–19 is dangerous. Teams often auto-allow safe, require human review for caution/suspicious, and block dangerous.

How does brin compute this domain score?

brin evaluates four dimensions: identity (source trust), behavior (runtime patterns), content (malicious instructions), and graph (relationship risk). Analysis runs in tiers: static signals, deterministic pattern checks, then AI semantic analysis when needed.

What do identity, behavior, content, and graph mean for this domain?

Identity checks source trust, behavior checks unusual runtime patterns, content checks for malicious instructions, and graph checks risky relationships to other entities. Looking at sub-scores helps you understand why an entity passed or failed.

Why does brin scan packages, repos, skills, MCP servers, pages, and commits?

brin performs risk assessments on external context before it reaches an AI agent. It scores that context for threats like prompt injection, hijacking, credential harvesting, and supply chain attacks, so teams can decide whether to block, review, or proceed safely.

Can I rely on a safe verdict as a full security guarantee?

No. A safe verdict means no significant risk signals were detected in this scan. It is not a formal guarantee; assessments are automated and point-in-time, so combine scores with your own controls and periodic re-checks.

When should I re-check before using an entity?

Re-check before high-impact actions such as installs, upgrades, connecting MCP servers, executing remote code, or granting secrets. Use the API in CI or runtime gates so decisions are based on the latest scan.
