Proactive Defense Against Digital Risks: ThreatNG Predicts and Prevents Attacks with Domain Name Permutations

Stay one step ahead of cybercriminals and brand impersonators with ThreatNG's advanced Domain Name Permutation analysis. This powerful feature within the DNS Intelligence module proactively generates and analyzes potential domain variations to uncover hidden threats, identify lookalike domains, and protect against phishing attacks, brand abuse, and counterfeit activities. By predicting how attackers might try to exploit your brand or deceive your customers, ThreatNG empowers you to take proactive measures and strengthen your overall security posture.

ThreatNG's ability to generate Domain Name Permutations and check their availability and associated IP addresses is a powerful capability for both External Attack Surface Management and Digital Risk Protection. Here's how:

EASM

Uncovering Shadow IT: Organizations often have unknown or forgotten digital assets. This feature helps discover potentially unauthorized domains or subdomains created by employees, departments, or acquired companies. These "shadow IT" assets can pose significant security risks if not properly managed and secured.
Identifying Lookalike Domains: Attackers may register domains that closely resemble legitimate ones (typosquatting) to trick users into visiting malicious websites. By generating permutations, ThreatNG can identify these lookalike domains and alert security teams, allowing them to take action such as takedown requests or implementing security measures to warn users.
Detecting Potential Brand Abuse: Even if a permutation isn't malicious, it might be used to damage the organization's brand reputation. This feature helps identify such domains and allows for appropriate action.

Digital Risk Protection

Preventing Phishing Attacks: Phishing attacks often rely on convincing domain names to trick users. ThreatNG can identify permutations that could be used for phishing campaigns, allowing for proactive measures like blocking access or raising user awareness.
Protecting Against Brand Impersonation: Malicious actors may register similar-looking domains to impersonate a brand and deceive customers. This feature helps identify these domains and protect against fraudulent activities that damage brand reputation and customer trust.
Monitoring for Counterfeit Products: Permutations can be used to sell counterfeit products or services. ThreatNG helps organizations identify such domains and take action to protect their intellectual property and customers.

Beyond Security: Domain Name Permutations for Brand Protection, Due Diligence, and Third-Party Risk Management

ThreatNG's Domain Name Permutation analysis isn't just for security teams. It's a powerful solution for safeguarding your brand reputation, conducting thorough due diligence, and managing third-party risk. Uncover hidden threats to your brand, gain a comprehensive view of your vendors' digital footprint, and confidently make informed decisions. Discover how ThreatNG's domain permutation capabilities can benefit your organization across these critical areas.

Brand Protection

Detecting brand impersonation: By generating permutations, you can identify domains that closely resemble your brand's domain (typosquatting). Attackers might use these domains to impersonate your brand, phish users, or distribute counterfeit products.
Uncovering brand abuse: Even if a domain isn't used maliciously, it might be used in a way that damages your brand reputation. Permutations help identify such domains.
Protecting against cybersquatting: Identify and take action against individuals who register domain names similar to your brand to profit from your brand's reputation.

Due Diligence

Uncovering hidden risks: Identify potential risks associated with a target company during mergers and acquisitions by analyzing their domain name portfolio and related infrastructure.

Third-Party Risk Management

Assessing vendor security posture: Analyze your vendors' domain names and subdomains to identify potential security risks, such as vulnerable services, exposed databases, or outdated software.
