Address Threats Quickly and Completely

Fortra Brand Protection delivers the most comprehensive and effective mitigation in the industry. By combining takedown, browser-blocking, and integration with internal security controls, we ensure threats are quickly and completely mitigated, protecting an organization's brand, customers, and employees. Our mitigation efforts are not only threat-specific but also vary significantly depending on the infrastructure or platform where a threat resides.

The sophistication of our solution is well beyond sending emails and manually filling out abuse forms. We provide complete mitigation including fully automated killswitches. When a Fortra Brand Protection's analyst identifies a threat, we have a direct integration into the relevant provider's infrastructure that automatically takes it down. Our established takedown APIs automatically positions mitigation requests to the front of provider’s internal ticketing or workflow systems and if infrastructures and platforms are unable to quickly support direct integration, our strategic relationships expedite our requests.

The high-fidelity nature of our curated threat data also makes it valuable for feed and API integration into internal security controls, such as SIEMs, TIPs, SOARs, and firewalls, highly enriching the frontline defense tools used to stop threats from reaching internal users, regardless of the incident’s current mitigation status.
