The depth of intelligence in Brand Protector is enhanced with third-party data feeds for holistic visibility into attacker actions everywhere.- Detection: Today's brand attacks automate the deployment of malicious, short-lived websites. Akamai Brand Protector traces live traffic to detect brand abuse often before a phishing campaign begins - instead of relying on refreshed lists or delayed feeds. The outcome reduces attack impact, protecting customers and brand trust .- Visibility: Customer-centric design gives security teams vital security insight in a single dashboard view. After receiving intelligence, data signals are run through a series of heuristic and AI detectors. Akamai's simplified user interface provides an instant understanding of real-time threats to customers via impersonations. Findings are ranked by threat score and users click into an alert to view analyzed threat data including confidence score, severity rating, number of affected users and a timeline of attack events.- Mitigation: Integrated takedown services help close the loop to combat brand fraud. Brand Protector enables security teams to issue a takedown request of the abusive site right in the detection screen. Takedown requests for Brand Protector automatically attach the detection's evidence and supporting details for ease of use."Attackers are increasingly abusing trusted brand names to lure end-users through phishing and fake sites for the promise of financial gain," said Rupesh Chokshi, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Application Security at Akamai.
