Registration-time detection
Certificate-transparency monitoring and WHOIS watching catch new domains as they appear. Typosquat permutations are generated across 1,500+ TLDs from the full public suffix list, including homoglyph variants.
Similarity scoring
Each suspect is probed live — page screenshot, content, certificate, domain age — and scored against your brand with operator-controlled confidence thresholds. Your subsidiaries sit on an allowlist so they never page anyone.
Logo abuse detection
Perceptual hashing (pHash, dHash, aHash, color histograms) finds your logo on pages that shouldn't have it — even resized, recompressed, or recolored.
Social & executive impersonation
Fuzzy matching across names, handles, and bios surfaces impersonation accounts, with verified-account suppression to kill false positives. Executive photos are matched by perceptual hash.
App store monitoring
Google Play and the Apple App Store are watched for apps using your brand or assets — fake banking apps surface in the same queue as fake websites.
Takedowns, drafted
The Brand Defender agent assembles the evidence pack and drafts the takedown through five adapters — Netcraft, PhishLabs, Group-IB, internal ticketing, or manual. It asks before sending.
Declare your brand
Brand names, domains, logo corpus, executive roster, and subsidiary allowlist. This is the reference set everything is matched against.
Watch the firehose
New registrations and certificate issuances stream in continuously. Typosquat permutations and homoglyphs of your domains are matched in real time.
Probe and score
Suspects get probed live: screenshot, content analysis, certificate chain, domain age. A similarity score above your threshold becomes an alert with evidence attached.
Brand Defender triages
The agent reviews each hit — is it parked, cloning your login page, or a false positive? — recommends an action, and drafts the takedown with the evidence pack.
Approve and track
You approve the send. The takedown's lifecycle — submitted, acknowledged, actioned — is tracked on the case until the fake is gone.
