Your domain is an essential part of your brand. However, criminals and competitors will often hijack your brand for marketing or malicious purposes. One common form of attack is through copy-cat domain names, known as spoofing, which are designed to trick people into thinking they are visiting your website. For example, if your domain name has the letter O in it, a criminal may purchase the exact same domain name but instead of using the letter O they will use the number zero (0). When looking at the domain name, they will look almost the same but when clicked on, the malicious domain can be used to steal personal / confidential information. With this new domain, a criminal can send emails to your customers pretending to be your organization. This type of attack is known is Spear Phishing.

In addition, criminals and competitors have also realized that simple typos can be used to their advantage. For example, a customer attempting to browse to your website will type in your domain name. However, they accidentally mistype a single character, maybe pressing the letter Y instead of the letter T because they are next to each other on the keyboard. Well, both criminals and competitors are now purchasing these mistyped domain names targeting those people who make a mistake. This type of attack is known Typosquatting and most mid-size or larger organizations are already victim and often don't even know it. This is because there can be literally hundreds of domains that can be purchased that are just a single character off.

Here is a simple test. Open your web browser and type www in front of your domain name and don't include the period that would normally be added after www. (wwwdomainname.com) There is a good chance someone has already bought that domain to target your customers.

There are two Domain Assure Service solutions to provide the service your organizations requires.

Domain Assure Detect
We have all heard the saying "what you don't know, can't hurt you" but when it comes to malicious domain names, nothing could be further from the truth.

Domain Assure Detect was designed to monitor for domains that could be used against your organization. When a new domain is discovered, our analysts manually review the finding and confirm if the domain is a malicious risk to your organization. In the event that the domain is discovered to be malicious, we immediately begin the process of having the domain taken down.

But what about domains that are not currently a risk to your organization? Criminals have realized that a little patience can go a long way. That's why criminals will often purchase a domain and then leave it "parked" for several months. During this time, the domain will earn a reputation as being legitimate and therefore will not be blacklisted by many of the domain verification sites. Then after several months, the criminals will redirect the domain to a malicious website and begin their phishing, spear-phishing, typosquatting or other malicious type of attack. That's why Domain Assure Detect never stops watching! From the first time a domain shows up on our radar, we will continue to monitor that domain and when we detect changes, we re-evaluate. If the domain moves from a legitimate page to something malicious, we will flag it and begin the process to take it down.

Domain Assure Detect uses proprietary algorithm's to monitor the most likely domains that a criminal would purchase to target the domains you ask us to monitor. Will literally comb through millions of domains, every single day, looking for potential new threats.

Domain Assure Prevent
Domain Assure Prevent is different from all other domain protection solutions available today. While malicious domain detection is an important step in protecting your employees and customers from malicious entities using domains designed to look like yours, we have found that the only true guarantee that a domain cannot be used against you is to eliminate the ability for criminals to purchase these similar domains.

For that reason, we have designed a proprietary algorithm that will look at your organizations domain(s) and then automatically acquire and lock down potentially hundreds of domains that are commonly used for both phishing and Typosquatting attacks! Not only does this completely eliminate the ability for a cybercriminal to acquire these domain names, but also makes for a more user-friendly experience for your customers as all of these locked domains will automatically re-direct your customer back to the URL of your choice.

For each domain your organization owns, Domain Assure will lock down between one hundred and four hundred unique domains that could be used against your organization! For this reason, it is easy to see the enormous security benefits that Domain Assure provides. And with an inexpensive cost and a five-minute setup time, your organization can go from being at risk to secured immediately!

Of course, Domain Assure Prevent also includes Domain Assure Detect which will continue to monitor for other rouge domains that could be used against your organization.
