Reducing Noise by Focusing on Verified Leaks

The sheer volume of web activity creates excessive noise — false positives, irrelevant data, and benign chatter — that slows down security teams as they search for real threats.

Fortra Brand Protection cuts through the noise with verified, human-vetted intelligence tailored to your organization. Our experts analyze findings in context, classifying them as informational or actionable based on threat severity, data exposure level, visibility, status, and related activity.

Accelerate Data Leak Mitigation

Data leaks can be devastating from a financial and reputational perspective but also a challenge to rectify. Once data is stolen, enterprises often lack clear visibility into when the data was leaked, where it is currently located, and how it’s being marketed. Many businesses aren’t even sure where to look.

Fortra Brand Protection minimizes damage caused by data leaks by automatically taking down actionable threats posted on the open web and social media with no client review required. In instances of compromised credentials, we also provide visibility into the credentials stolen, so you can take proactive internal measures to lock accounts or force password changes.

FAQs

Any unintended disclosure of sensitive data is classified as a data leak.

A data leak can occur for various reasons, but it's most often the result of human error or negligence. For example, it could be as simple as sending sensitive information to the wrong email recipient.

A data leak refers to the unintentional exposure of sensitive information, often due to human error, poor security practices, or system misconfigurations. This can happen without any malicious activity—such as accidentally sending confidential data to the wrong person or leaving a database unsecured and accessible online.

A data breach, on the other hand, involves unauthorized access to data, typically by a malicious actor. Breaches often result from cyberattacks like hacking, phishing, or malware, and they usually involve an active effort to steal or exploit the compromised information.
