# messaging\_disqus

**Explanation**

The messaging\_disqus NDM is designed to detect the usage of Disqus on the network. Disqus is a third-party commenting and discussion platform used on many websites. This NDM can help security teams understand if this platform is being used on their network, and potentially identify any security risks associated with its usage.

**What to Look For**

When analyzing the results of the messaging\_disqus event, the security team should look for any instances of Disqus traffic on the network. This may indicate that employees are accessing websites with Disqus functionality, which could potentially pose a risk if sensitive information is being discussed. Additionally, the team should investigate whether any endpoints have installed the Disqus application or plugin, which could indicate that employees are using the platform to communicate with others outside of traditional business channels. It is important to understand the extent of Disqus usage on the network, as well as any associated risks.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fusion.vectra.ai/detection-models/library/operational-governance/messaging_disqus.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
