Lookalike Domain Defence: Visibility for business impersonation protection
The distributed nature of the digital space and domain registration’s inherent flaws, make it easy for cybercriminals to register lookalike domains and carry out brand impersonation.
Lookalike Domain Defence steps in to give your business total visibility of fraudulent use of your domain, enabling you to take the necessary defensive action.
The problem Lookalike Domain Defence solves
Cybercriminals use lookalike domains – domains that look extremely similar to an organization’s original domain – to carry out convincing cyberattacks where they trick users into disclosing sensitive data with fake emails or websites.
Many businesses don’t have active visibility into their lookalike domain risk, lookalike domain registrations, and brand name use.
The successful registration and use of a domain lookalike can lead to the following business damages:
Impersonation
Attackers can use lookalike domains to host websites or send impersonating phishing, spoofing, or socially engineered emails to trick employees, suppliers, and customers.
Data theft
Users are deceived into revealing sensitive information to attackers, such as personally identifiable information (PII), credit card and other financial information, or login credentials.
Reputation damage
Fraudulent use of your brand name reduces stakeholder trust in your organization and damages the good reputation you’ve worked so hard to build.
Financial loss
Lookalike domain attacks can result in direct financial loss, like the sale of fake products or services, and indirect financial losses like lost sales or reduced productivity, to name a few.
System compromise
Lookalike websites are used to distribute malware or ransomware that could grant attackers access to internal systems.
