Protect Your Organization with Domain Monitoring
Cyber criminals use malicious domains to launch online attacks. Because domain registration is inexpensive and accessible, attackers easily create fraudulent sites to steal credentials, redirect traffic, or sell counterfeit goods.
Scammers exploit look-alike and spoofed domains to impersonate trusted brands, fueling phishing and business email compromise. Fortra’s domain monitoring identifies these threats early and accelerates response with rapid domain takedowns, stopping attacks before they spread.
Disrupt Malicious Domains Before Impact
Attackers register thousands of lookalike domains and typosquatting variants every year to impersonate brands, launch phishing campaigns, and steal sensitive data. Without proactive domain monitoring, these threats can go live — and cause damage — before your team even knows they exist.
Our domain monitoring service continuously scans newly registered and existing domains across global TLDs, including both gTLDs and ccTLDs. By correlating passive DNS, WHOIS records, SSL certificate data, and real-world domain activity, we uncover suspicious domains tied to your brand and anticipate likely variants before they’re weaponized.
You get real-time alerts with risk scoring on newly identified domains, enabling fast, informed action. When threats are confirmed, our automated takedown services help you shut down malicious sites quickly—minimizing exposure and protecting your customers.
Advanced Domain Takedown Service
Intelligence tools that monitor new and existing domains for brand matches often generate overwhelming volumes of false positives. Security teams are left sifting through endless domain variations, slowing detection and increasing the risk of missing real threats.
Eliminate the noise. Our domain monitoring service combines advanced automated analysis with expert validation to filter out false positives and surface verified threats. The result: faster detection, clearer priorities, and more time for your team to focus on protecting your organization.
Streamline Malicious Domain Mitigation
The most effective way to stop a malicious domain is to take it offline. Our domain monitoring service streamlines the takedown process by working directly with registrars on your behalf.
Domain takedowns can be complex and time-consuming, varying by threat type and registrar requirements. Requests must include clear, well-documented evidence of abuse and approval ultimately rests with the registrar.
Fortra Brand Protection handles this end to end. We gather the necessary evidence, align with registrar requirements, and accelerate takedown requests to remove malicious domains quickly.
Through our established network of trusted registrar partners, customers benefit from prioritized escalation paths, automated kill switches, and some of the fastest, most effective takedown capabilities in the industry.
Automate Domain Monitoring and Takedowns at Scale
Security teams often lack the resources to manually track domain threats or investigate each new registration. Hackers and cybercriminals are fast, and any delay increases your risk.
Fortra's domain monitoring software automates detection, prioritization, and response. Instantly identify malicious domains and initiate website mitigation without increasing your team’s workload.
Extend the Power of Domain Monitoring
Attackers use spoofed and lookalike domains to launch phishing campaigns, bypass traditional security controls, and compromise sensitive data.
Fortra DMARC Protection works alongside our domain monitoring services to enforce strong email authentication and stop domain spoofing at scale. We implement and manage DMARC, SPF, and DKIM policies, identify unauthorized and third-party senders, and enforce strict DMARC reject policies to prevent abuse. At the same time, continuous domain monitoring detects suspicious activity from lookalike domains and emerging phishing campaigns.
Combined with domain monitoring and rapid takedown, Fortra helps block phishing emails, reduce fraudulent domain activity, and protect your brand across both web and email channels.
