Domain monitoring
Domain monitoring is the practice of tracking new domain registrations, DNS changes, certificate issuance, and web content on domains that could impersonate or attack a brand. This guide covers detection approaches, data sources, the monitoring pipeline, and integration with incident response.
What is domain protection?
Domain protection is the practice of monitoring for lookalike domains, defending against brand impersonation, and enforcing takedowns of unauthorized domain registrations. This guide covers how it works and what it includes.
Deep dives
Defensive domain registration
Defensive domain registration is the practice of proactively registering domain name variants to prevent attackers from using them for phishing or brand impersonation. This guide covers what to register, how to prioritize, and when monitoring is more practical.
Domain protection vs domain privacy
Domain protection and domain privacy solve fundamentally different problems. Domain privacy hides registrant data from public WHOIS records. Domain protection monitors for lookalike domains, manages defensive registrations, and pursues takedowns against brand impersonation.
