Control your domain name space to control phishing
With the rapid growth of the phishing threat, it is now imperative to have firm control of domain names you use and of names that your customers think are yours. Over thirty-five percent of phishing attacks rely on domain names that are variations of the target brand name (such as brand-account.com or brandonline.com) in order to increase the potential victim’s misguided confidence. By taking control of these domain names before the phishers target your brand, you can eliminate 35% of possible phishing attacks against your brand.
 Protect your customers, protect your business
If your company is like most, no one has a full picture of the domains you own, much less of what names you should own, or need to get back from outsiders. In today’s environment, you must control your "domain space" -- the domains related to your brands in order to protect your company, your customers and your distribution channels.
- Block popular and easy phishing attack paths. Make your brand a Hard Target.
- Deter future attacks by making a public display of your anti-phishing efforts.*
- Increase control of your brand on the Internet.
Domain Control is Proven to be Effective
Microsoft Corporation implemented our Core Domain Control program as part of a aggressive response to phishing attacks. Over the next six months, phishing attacks against the company’s brands were reduced by more than 80%! Other ISPs that had been targeted by the same phishing attacks but did not implement Core Domain Control continued to suffer a high level of phishing attacks.
Here’s how to do it...
|
#1: Own your high value domains and high risk domains.
|
High value domains include your company and brand name combinations in all generic TLDs and the country TLDs where you do business.
|
|
#2: Know who owns domains in your domain space and know what they are doing with them.
|
Cybersquatters may infringe on your trademarks, but they do not engage in phishing.
|
|
#3: Watch your space for changes and new threats.
|
Over a million domains change status every day, making a lot of “noise” that help phishers hide. A professional domain monitoring solution filters the noise and identifies potential threats.
|
|
#4: Respond to threats.
|
Measure your response to the level of the threat.
