UNDERSTANDING BRAND PROTECTION

Brand protection is a critical component of safeguarding your business from online threats that can damage your reputation, mislead customers, and result in financial loss. Threat actors are constantly evolving their tactics to exploit brands—whether it's through impersonation, counterfeit products, or orchestrated scams designed to deceive customers and erode trust. Businesses that lack a comprehensive strategy to combat these threats often find themselves vulnerable, while those who stay proactive and vigilant can protect their brand and build long-term customer trust.

Three Segments of Brand Protection

1. Brand Abuse

Brand abuse involves the deliberate misuse of your brand assets to deceive customers, execute phishing attacks, distribute malware, or perpetrate scams. These malicious activities can severely undermine customer trust, cause financial losses, and damage brand reputation beyond repair.

2. Brand Infringement

Brand infringement occurs when unauthorized entities exploit your brand's intellectual property, including logos, trademarks, and product designs, to mislead consumers. This can take the form of counterfeit goods, unauthorized resellers, or impersonation, leading to revenue loss and customer confusion.

3. Brand Threat Intelligence

Brand threat intelligence focuses on uncovering the deeper layers of adversarial infrastructure targeting your brand. This proactive approach identifies the key actors, their methods, and the underlying campaigns they orchestrate. By understanding these threats at their root, businesses can take informed actions to neutralize risks before they escalate.
