Protect Your Organization with Domain Monitoring
Threat actors constantly exploit malicious domains to launch online attacks. With domain registration being inexpensive, quick, and widely accessible, virtually anyone can create fraudulent websites to steal login credentials, redirect web traffic, or sell counterfeit goods.
Scammers also impersonate trusted brands with spoofed domains to send phishing emails, execute business email compromise (BEC) schemes, and lure victims into ransomware attacks. Shield your organization from domain-based threats with industry-leading domain monitoring that leaves nothing unnoticed.
Uncover Threats with Comprehensive Visibility
Every year, cybercriminals register hundreds of thousands of look-alike domains to try to fool users. The ultimate goal of domain spoofing is to prompt interaction with a malicious email or have the user perform an ulterior motive like visiting a phishing site so the threat actor can steal personal information (PII). By identifying threat actors targeting your brand early, you can proactively defend against a wide range of online threat
The challenge is detecting abuse requires visibility into new and existing domain registrations and the ability to mine those registrations for brand-related keywords and variations. Fortra Brand Protection’s domain monitoring service continuously analyzes SSL certificate logs, passive DNS data, and DNS zone files to identify every active domain across more than 2,000 top-level domains (TLDs), including both generic (gTLDs) and country-code TLDs (ccTLDs).
We utilize multiple active DNS sourcing methods to proactively collect vast amounts of domain data. This advanced approach provides broader visibility into the domain threat landscape, speeds up threat detection, and improves the identification of diverse risks far beyond what traditional techniques can achieve.
Reduce the Noise So You Can Focus on Threats
Intelligence tools built to monitor new and existing domains for brand matches and variations tend to generate large volumes of false positives. Sorting through endless domain names can hamper actually detecting threats, yet security teams must sift through this noise to single out malicious domains.
Eliminate the headache of searching for look-alike domains. Our digital domain monitoring service combines advanced automated analysis and expert vetting of domain variations. This removes false positives from the haystack, allowing your team to focus on verified threats targeting your organization.
Streamline the Takedown of Malicious Domains
The only method of fully mitigating a malicious domain is to take it offline. Our domain monitoring service facilitates domain takedown by working directly with the domain registrar.
The domain takedown process can be highly complex and time-consuming depending on the type of threat and the registrar involved. Entities requesting domain takedown must provide detailed evidence of abuse, and ultimately it is up to the registrar to determine if the offending domain should be removed.
Fortra Brand Protection's domain monitoring service gathers the evidence needed and gets malicious domains taken offline quickly. We know what types of abuse qualify for takedown and what evidence each registrar requires.
Through our deep network of trusted registrar partners, customers gain unmatched access to automated killswitches, prioritized escalation paths, and the industry's fastest, most successful malicious takedown capabilities.
Reduce the Burden on Your Security Team
Security teams frequently bear the critical burden of detecting and neutralizing domain threats. Their work demands continuous tuning of data collection, sifting through vast amounts of potential threats, and managing the mitigation process for verified risks.
Fortra Brand Protection’s domain monitoring service lifts that burden by handling the entire threat detection and mitigation process as an extension of your security team. We manage it all without adding to your operational workload — one of the key reasons why some of the world’s most targeted organizations trust us to protect their brands from digital threats.
