What Is Brand Protection Software?

Brand protection software detects threats that exploit your company’s identity online. The primary target: lookalike domains that impersonate your brand to steal credentials.

How Brand Impersonation Works:

Lookalike Domains: Attackers register domains like “arnazon.com” or “rnicrosoft.com” that look legitimate at a glance
Phishing Infrastructure: Fake login pages harvest usernames and passwords from unsuspecting victims
Executive Impersonation: Business email compromise attacks use fake domains to authorize fraudulent wire transfers

Where Breachsense Fits:

Most brand protection tools focus on trademark enforcement and counterfeit products. Breachsense takes a different approach with two layers of protection:

Attack Surface Monitoring: Our ASM capability maps your digital footprint and continuously scans for lookalike domains. We detect typosquatting and homoglyph attacks that attackers use to impersonate your brand.

Early Detection: Find phishing domains before they’re used in attacks. Take them down before attackers can harvest credentials from your employees and customers.

Credential Theft at Scale

Zscaler ThreatLabz found over 30,000 lookalike domains targeting just 500 major websites in six months. More than 10,000 were confirmed malicious. These fake sites harvest credentials that attackers use for account takeover and lateral movement.

Infostealer Delivery

IBM X-Force 2025 reports an 84% increase in phishing emails delivering infostealers. Brand impersonation attacks trick users into downloading malware that steals saved passwords and session tokens from their browsers.

Financial Fraud

Business email compromise attacks use fake domains to impersonate executives. The FBI IC3 Report shows BEC losses exceeded $2.9 billion in 2023. Attackers register domains one character off from yours to authorize fraudulent transactions.
