Phishing attacks have been around since the earliest days of our connected world. Today, phishing campaigns are delivered on an industrial scale, using techniques that make it significantly harder for your customers to determine if a communication is genuine or fake. Despite the modernization of attacks, the key motivation for the cybercriminals remains the same — to trick your customers into handing over valuable information. Akamai solves the problem by coupling our proprietary intel feed with leading third-party feeds to alert your organization of planned and emerging phishing campaigns with speed and accuracy. You can protect your customer relationships by initiating takedowns directly in the customer portal.

Find fake stores and safeguard your reseller ecosystem
False storefront operations can have many motivations. Whether the threat actors that launched the site intend to sell fake goods, accept payment without fulfillment, or steal sensitive data, the outcome remains the same. Interactions with fake versions of your brand and products deteriorate customer trust and reduce revenue. Control your reseller ecosystem and stop knockoff sales with Brand Protector’s speedy detections. Plus, the integrated takedown and site alert capabilities can disrupt attacks to prevent monetization of your brand and minimize attacker motivation.
Mitigate brand impersonation
Kill the kill chain on social media and in app stores
Every brand impersonation you detect and disrupt can kill the attacker’s kill chain. Mitigating brand impersonations can stop credential harvesting and prevent account abuse. Brand Protector uses Akamai’s proprietary global traffic data to detect fraudulent sites — and now Brand Protector monitors social media networks and app marketplaces too. The combination of first- and third-party data feeds gives Brand Protector extensive visibility with which to protect your brand. Early detection and integrated mitigation of impersonations can help eliminate future attacks at scale.
