The best lookalike domain defense
To help protect your brand reputation, we provide continuous monitoring for malicious lookalikes of your domains and provide access to a team of highly skilled professionals that can assist in getting them taken down.
Comprehensive solution
Our holistic impersonation protection approach empowers your team with total visibility into all impersonation risks including domain spoofing, malicious lookalike domains and compromised supplier accounts. And we reveal all emails being sent as you, including 3rd parties and applications. Instead of juggling multiple vendors tackling different pieces of the impersonation problem, you can simplify with a single vendor to tackle the whole problem.
Key features of our Impersonation Protection
Adaptive controls to mitigate risk
We allow customers to apply adaptive controls, such as automatic isolation of URLs from compromised supplier accounts without disrupting your business. Other email impersonation protection solutions cannot give you adaptive controls to mitigate risk.

Dynamic detection and remediation for malicious lookalike domains
We dynamically detect malicious lookalike domains that pose a threat to your brand reputation and can work on your behalf to get them taken down. We also uncover malicious lookalike domains of your suppliers, revealing the messaging volume and messages delivered from those malicious lookalikes. No other vendor can provide that kind of visibility.
