    Mimecast brand protection services combine machine learning and targeted scans to identify potential attacks reduce compromise.
    Overview

    Extending your security to brand protection

    Brand protection is harder than ever today. Online brand impersonation attacks are on the rise and the potential impact on your organization can be devastating. By registering domains that look like yours and cloning your website using off-the-shelf tools, attackers can easily dupe employees, customers, partners, and anyone else who trusts your brand into revealing credentials, sensitive data and personal information. And because these sites are outside your perimeter, they can be incredibly difficult to detect.

    Using machine learning and running quadrillions of targeted scans, Mimecast Brand Exploit Protect identifies, blocks and helps take down suspicious sites, active scams and clones of your website to protect your customers, partners and your brand.

    Why brand protection is so difficult today

    The tactics of cyber attackers are constantly evolving. Criminals attempting to breach your security defenses today rely far more on deception than on brute force attacks. The number of phishing and impersonation attacks continues to rise along with the cost of the damages these attacks inflict on brands.

    This trend is made possible by the digital first economy, where consumers and businesses increasingly rely on digital interactions with brands for banking, shopping, social interaction, parcel delivery and other everyday activities. Users place enormous trust in digital brands today – which can be easily exploited by attackers.

    Even unsophisticated attackers can easily register a domain that looks very similar to yours and create a fake website that is virtually identical to yours. By luring customers, partners, suppliers and even employees to the site via phishing email, attackers can steal credentials, personal information, sensitive data and money.

    Because a spoofed website is outside your perimeter, it's quite difficult to spot, and most organizations are blind to these kinds of tactics. Web gateway defenses can protect your employees from visiting suspicious websites but protecting customers and partners who are outside your perimeter has been very difficult in the past.

    To take a more proactive approach for brand protection, organizations need solutions that can find live attacks and identify potential threats before they become active. That's where Mimecast can help.
