Risk Indicators
| Indicator | Status |
|---|---|
| Blacklist Count | 0 |
| Known Attacker | No |
| Spam Source | No |
| Tor Exit Node | No |
| Proxy/VPN | No |
| DNSBL Listed | 1 (out of 8 total checks) |
The single DNSBL listing is minimal and does not elevate the overall risk profile.

SOC Recommendations
Current Risk Level: LOW
1. Traffic Monitoring: No immediate blocking required. Monitor for unusual outbound connections from SSH services (port 22).
2. Geolocation Validation: The discrepancy between primary (DE) and alternate (US) geolocation reports warrants periodic monitoring, though this is common for cloud infrastructure.
3. Subnet Context: The /24 neighborhood is clean; no lateral threat assessment needed for adjacent addresses.
4. Action Threshold: No automated firewall rules or blocking actions recommended at this time.
Priority: LOW โ Continue passive monitoring and correlate with other threat intelligence sources if suspicious behavior emerges.
