Domain Protection & Phishing Prevention
Domain Protection & Phishing Prevention
The LookAlike domain module proactively defends your organization against brand impersonation and phishing attacks by identifying and neutralizing malicious lookalike domains before they can be used against your employees or customers. Using advanced AI algorithms, the system continuously monitors domain registrations worldwide to detect potential threats targeting your digital identity, providing a critical layer of defense against one of the most common attack vectors.
Business Benefits:
Prevents Phishing Attacks by identifying malicious domains before they're used in campaigns targeting your organization.
Protects Brand Reputation by quickly detecting and removing impersonating domains that damage customer trust.
Reduces Financial Risk associated with business email compromise, credential theft, and fraud originating from lookalike domains.
Saves Manual Effort by automating the tedious process of monitoring domain registrations across global registries.
Enhances Security Posture by addressing a critical attack vector that traditional security tools often miss.
How It Works: Proactive Domain Monitoring
AI-Powered Domain Generation: Advanced algorithms automatically generate hundreds of potential lookalike domains based on your corporate domains, considering common impersonation techniques like character substitution, typosquatting, and different TLDs.
Global Domain Registry Scanning: The system continuously scans global domain registries in real-time to identify which of the generated lookalike domains have been registered.
Threat Scoring & Analysis: Each detected domain is analyzed and scored based on factors like registration date, registrar reputation, and similarity to your legitimate domains.
Automated Takedown Proposals: For high-risk domains, the system automatically generates takedown requests and provides you with the necessary evidence and procedures to initiate removal.
What It Discovers
Typosquatting domains (e.g., your-comapny.com instead of your-company.com)
Character substitution domains (e.g., your-company.com with zero instead of 'o')
Different TLD variations (e.g., .net, .org instead of your .com domain)
International domain name (IDN) homograph attacks
Recently registered domains targeting your brand
Domains using your brand name with additional words (e.g., yourcompany-login.com)
Use Cases
Proactive Phishing Defense: Identify and neutralize malicious domains before phishing campaigns are launched.

Executive Protection: Special monitoring for domains targeting key executives and leadership.

Why It Matters
Phishing remains one of the most successful attack methods because it exploits human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities. Traditional security tools can only react after an attack begins, but ThreatDefence's Domain Protection takes a proactive approach by identifying threats at the source—before they're ever used in attacks. By automatically detecting lookalike domains and streamlining the takedown process, we help you stay ahead of attackers and protect what matters most: your people, your data, and your reputation.
Stop phishing attacks before they start by protecting your digital identity at the domain level.
