Overview
CyberHoot provides a free trial module for MSPs to pursue new cybersecurity business. This new CyberHoot Sales module enables MSPs to perform a quick (4 Steps) security assessment of a potential client’s cybersecurity readiness and produces a PDF scorecard that includes these reports:
- Dark Web Domain Search (i.e. company.com)
- Dark Web Email Search (i.e. owner@company.com)
- DNS Check for SPF, DMARC, and DKIM (email health and security)
- Phish Testing of up to 1000 Emails (the key to winning new cybersecurity business!)
Once the assessment is complete, MSPs can download or email the PDF scorecard to whomever they choose. There is NO COST to the MSP for running these tests. Only after promotion to the full site will CyberHoot charge you for each user.
Easy Automatic Conversion from Trial to Full CyberHoot Use: If your prospect wants CyberHoot services, you can convert them to a full customer in one click. However, if the potential customer is not ready to sign up for services, simply mark them “Not Interested” and move on to the next prospect. Use our Sales module for existing MSP clients as well as Net new and feel the power Cybersecurity has to win new business!
