Domain monitoring

Stay one step ahead of cybersquatting with effective domain name monitoring.

Every day, sev­er­al hun­dred thou­sands of domain names are reg­is­tered around the world. They include an unknown num­ber of fraud vec­tors.

Domain names are omnipresent across the Inter­net and are key to your dig­i­tal ter­ri­to­ry: they rep­re­sent an immense oppor­tu­ni­ty of hijack­ing for scam­mers and cyber-attack­ers. Domain name mon­i­tor­ing is essen­tial to face these risks.

One of the strate­gies you can adopt to pro­tect your brand is to reg­is­ter domain names defen­sive­ly. These reg­is­tra­tions tar­get the names and exten­sions con­sid­ered sen­si­tive or at risk. It is impos­si­ble to reg­is­ter domain names which would pro­tect against every attempt at fraud, but defen­sive reg­is­tra­tion remains a strate­gic lever to lim­it the risks to mali­cious actors.

Cyber­squat­ting is one of the most com­mon attack vec­tors used by cyber-attack­ers. Your brand thus needs to be pro­tect­ed against all of the risks asso­ci­at­ed with cyber­squat­ting. By mon­i­tor­ing domain names, you can iden­ti­fy as ear­ly as pos­si­ble any new reg­is­tra­tion or use of domain names that could under­mine your brand. React­ing quick­ly with appro­pri­ate coun­ter­mea­sures is essen­tial.
