Lookalike domains are growing and evolving fast
Between January 2022 and March 2023, we identified more than 300,000 lookalike domains, many of which were kept active for years and used for phishing, spoofing and multi-factor authentication (MFA) scams.
Infoblox Threat Defense™ provides the visibility and speed you need to detect, block and eliminate these threats before they can harm your brand, reputation or customers.
BRAND PROTECTION BENEFITS
Why Infoblox Brand Protection?
CUSTOM DOMAIN WATCHLIST
Tailored protection against all lookalike attack vectors
The brand protection capabilities of Infoblox Threat Defense™ let you build and monitor a custom list of domains to assess potential high-risk lookalikes.
You can set up watchlists to monitor every attack angle that lookalike threat actors may use, from phishing URLs to malware command and control (C2). If you spot trouble, we can help you mitigate any domain risks.
GLOBAL DNS INTELLIGENCE
Detect costly domain threats early
Identify and stop high-risk lookalike domains before they damage your brand. Leveraging large-scale DNS analytics, Infoblox analyzes hundreds of thousands of new second-level domains every day.
You can choose from our continuously updated list of commonly targeted domains or create a custom monitoring solution specific to your needs. With measurable, cost-effective domain security, you can prevent damaging threats before the attacks happen.
