Brand Protection

What is Brand Protection?

Brand protection is the practice of defending a company’s identity and digital assets from impersonation, misuse, and fraud. It plays a critical role in stopping phishing campaigns, scam ads, and fake apps before they reach customers.

How does Brand Protection work?

• Domain Monitoring: Continuously tracks newly registered and existing domains that resemble a brand’s name or structure—such as via typosquatting, homoglyph attacks, or lookalike domains to identify potential impersonation attempts.

• Ad and Content Scanning: Detects scam advertisements, fake posts, and other malicious content that misuse brand assets, logos, or trademarks to deceive users and redirect traffic.

• Social Media and App Oversight: Monitors for unauthorized or fraudulent use of the brand’s identity, names, logos, or trademarks across social platforms and app stores, flagging fake accounts and malicious apps.

• Legal and Takedown Enforcement: Engages legal channels to remove infringing content through DMCA claims, registrar takedown requests, and direct cooperation with platforms and service providers.

Without effective brand protection, organizations risk customer trust erosion, reputational damage, and enablement of downstream fraud such as phishing, counterfeit sales, and account takeover.
