What Is Brand Protection Software?

The FBI logged $2.77 billion in business email compromise losses last year, and most of those attacks started with a lookalike domain customers couldn’t tell from the real thing. Attackers don’t need to breach your network when they can buy a $10 domain and trick your buyers into wiring funds to the wrong account.

Attackers register domains like “arnazon.com” or “rnicrosoft.com” that look identical to yours. They build fake login pages to harvest passwords, or use these domains for business email compromise. The goal is the same either way: steal credentials or money by hiding behind your brand.

Most brand protection tools focus on trademark enforcement and counterfeit products. Breachsense focuses on the security side:

• Attack Surface Monitoring: We map your digital footprint and continuously scan for typosquatting and homoglyph attacks targeting your brand.

• Early Detection: Find phishing domains before they’re used in attacks. Take them down before attackers harvest credentials from your employees and customers.

How Does Brand Impersonation Threaten Your Organization?

Credential Theft at Scale

Zscaler ThreatLabz found over 30,000 lookalike domains targeting just 500 major websites in six months. More than 10,000 were confirmed malicious. These fake sites harvest credentials that attackers use for account takeover and lateral movement.

Infostealer Delivery

IBM X-Force 2025 reports an 84% increase in phishing emails delivering infostealers. Brand impersonation attacks trick users into downloading malware that steals saved passwords and session tokens from their browsers.

Financial Fraud

Business email compromise attacks use fake domains to impersonate executives. The FBI’s 2024 IC3 Report shows BEC losses hit $2.77 billion. Attackers register domains one character off from yours to authorize fraudulent transactions.
