Protection from Account Hacks

Digital Risk Protection detects and remediates account hacks in real time. It provides social media threat monitoring by searching for changes in profile or publishing patterns that indicate someone has hijacked the account. When such an event occurs, it immediately sends an alert and removes the unsanctioned content. You also have the option to automatically lock down the account in the event of a hack.

With Digital Risk Protection: Social Media Protection, you can:

• Designate approved account configurations, including authorised owners, images, credentials, third-party apps
• Monitor accounts for suspicious behaviours such as a spike in publishing volume
• Receive an alert when approved configurations change or suspicious behaviours are detected
• Require approval for social media profile changes
• Set automatic lockdown policies or trigger profile lockdowns with the push of a button

Angler Phishing and Malware Protection

Digital Risk Protection secures your social accounts from cyber-attacks like malware and phishing links that criminals post to your feeds to lure your customers.

Our social media security solution monitors your social customer care interactions around the clock and detects angler phishing attempts on your customers. We notify you immediately when someone contacts your customers from a fake customer care account, so you can initiate your response plan.
