Brand Risk Protection

Keep an eye on the internet. Protect your brand.

Brand Risk Protection (BRP) is the detection and disruption of brand abuse across the public internet, including lookalike domains, fake mobile apps, fraudulent listings, and executive or product impersonation. Deepinfo BRP catches the eight confusable match types simple typo detection misses, runs continuous monitoring, and operates managed takedowns when you ask for them.

Deepinfo's Brand Risk Protection module detects lookalike domains, fake apps, fraudulent listings, and brand abuse across the internet. Eight confusable match types catch what simple typo-detection misses. Continuous monitoring with managed takedowns.

THE PROBLEM

The internet is registering fake versions of your brand right now.

Lookalike domains. Typosquats. Homoglyph attacks using Cyrillic letters that visually match Latin ones. Fake apps in third-party app stores. Counterfeit listings on marketplaces. Phishing pages mimicking your login.

Most brand abuse happens at speed. A typosquat goes from registration to phishing campaign in days. Without continuous monitoring, the first signal is usually a customer report, by which time the damage is done.

BRP closes that gap. Continuous detection across the channels brand abuse actually uses, structured risk scoring per detected asset, and a takedown workflow that doesn't depend on you running it manually.

UNDER THE HOOD

Lookalike detection that actually catches the difficult ones.

Simple typosquat detection catches "deepinfo" → "deepinflo." Real attackers don't stop at typos. Deepinfo's BRP detects lookalike domains across eight match types, including the Cyrillic homoglyph attacks where one Latin character is replaced with a visually identical non-Latin one.

Eight confusable match types.

Exact, contains, fuzzy, fuzzy contains, and four confusable variants (exact, contains, fuzzy, fuzzy contains). Each match type has different sensitivity and false-positive characteristics; the platform applies all of them per detection rule.

Per-domain risk timeline.

Every detected fraudulent domain gets a risk score that evolves over time. New SSL certificate issued: score moves. Login page detected on the lookalike: score moves higher. The timeline shows the trajectory so you prioritize the domains actively weaponizing.

Built on data we own.

The same dataset that powers EASM powers BRP. 400 million domains, 2 billion subdomains, 200 billion DNS records, 30 billion SSL certificates. Detection runs against the live internet, not a periodically-refreshed snapshot.

RISK SCORING

Not every lookalike is worth chasing.

A continuous detection engine surfaces a lot of candidates. Most are benign: domains registered for legitimate reasons that happen to contain your brand name. The job of risk scoring is to separate the parked domains from the active threats.

Deepinfo scores every detected fraudulent domain against multiple signals: is there a live website, is there a login page, is there an MX record (suggesting phishing email infrastructure), is there an active SSL certificate, has the registration changed recently. The risk score evolves as the attacker prepares the campaign, so by the time it's weaponized, you're already alerted.

The result: a queue ordered by what's actually threatening your brand, not a flat list of every domain that contains your name.

MOST PLATFORMS

Detection alone

A flat list of every domain that contains your name. The team triages manually, every week, against the same ambiguous candidates.

DEEPINFO

Detection + multi-signal risk scoring + timeline

A queue ordered by what's actively weaponizing. Live website, login page, MX record, active SSL, recent registration change, all scored continuously per domain.

COMPLIANCE & RECORD-KEEPING

Documented evidence for brand-protection programs.

Brand abuse cases sometimes end up in court. Trademark disputes, UDRP filings, regulatory complaints. Every detected asset, every state change, every takedown action carries an exportable audit trail.

OUTCOMES

Brand protection, where your team already works.

Reports for marketing, legal, and security.

Detected fraudulent assets by category. Risk-score distribution. Takedown success rates. Monthly brand-protection summary. Generated on a schedule or on demand.

Alerts on what actually matters.

New fraudulent domain detected (high-risk only by default). New impersonation account on social. New fake app published. Frequency configurable per channel.

An API for everything else.

Detected assets, risk scores, takedown statuses. All available via API. Useful for integrating brand protection into broader fraud workflows. See the API reference.

Lookalike domains and fake mobile apps used to be a steady annoyance we cleared monthly. Now we see them within hours of registration, and the takedown desk handles the enforcement so my team stays focused on internal work.”

BRP QUESTIONS

Common questions about BRP.

What is BRP (Brand Risk Protection)?
Brand Risk Protection is the detection and disruption of brand abuse across the public internet, including lookalike domains, fake mobile apps, fraudulent listings, and executive or product impersonation. The category emerged as phishing and brand fraud shifted from email-only attacks to multi-channel campaigns across web, app stores, and social platforms.
What does Deepinfo BRP catch?
Newly registered confusable domains (typosquats, homoglyphs, combosquats, and six more match types), fake apps in the Apple App Store and Google Play, fraudulent listings on e-commerce marketplaces, impersonation on social platforms, and credential phishing sites tied to your brand. Continuous monitoring with first-detection in hours.
How is BRP different from traditional brand monitoring and takedown services?
Traditional brand monitoring is keyword-based and reactive (you know the abuse exists). BRP is signal-based and proactive (catching look-alikes before they're weaponized). Traditional takedown services are project-based and slow; Deepinfo runs managed takedowns continuously, with priority routing for active phishing infrastructure.
What's the typical takedown workflow?
Deepinfo detects the abuse, classifies it (registered-not-yet-active, parked, active phishing, fraudulent listing), and produces a takedown package with evidence. Customers can self-serve the takedown or hand it to the Deepinfo team. Most active-phishing domains drop inside 24 hours when the platform routes through the right registrar or registry.
How is BRP priced?
Pricing scales with the number of brands and the volume of managed takedowns. Detection is included for any monitored brand. Talk to us for a scoped quote or see pricing.
