Protect Your Brand from Abuse on the Open Web
Organizations spend a great deal of time and money on the integrity of their brand, and threat actors oftentimes leverage that brand trust. Unauthorized associations, traffic diversion schemes, counterfeit goods, and other misrepresentations diminish brand value and cause meaningful harm to organizations. Unfortunately, false associations of recognizable brands are common on the web, where using an organization’s earned credibility can be as simple as someone placing the logo on a website.
