Your clients may think of cybersecurity as solely a means to protect their applications and data. However, do they consider the cyber-related risks to their company’s brand and business?  Cybercriminals often “spread the wealth” and use clever tactics to negatively impact organizations’ brands. Some of the ways attackers can compromise your clients’ brand reputations include:

  • Distributing a fake mobile application that appears to be from a legitimate company
  • Defacing a company website, or rendering it useless, making it unreachable for online purchases
  • Spoofing a company website for the purpose of defrauding or attacking visitors

Cyberattacks impact every aspect of your client’s organization. Help protect them with FortiRecon Brand Protection. As part of Fortinet’s Digital Risk Protection (DRP) solution, FortiRecon Brand Protection provides a brand-specific view of threats that could lead to brand and reputation risks such as credential risks, rogue applications, harmful social media posts, brand impersonation, phishing and more.

FortiRecon Brand Protection monitors the following areas for risk to brands:

  • Social media – impersonations of a company’s social media accounts
  • Web – malicious activities such as typo-squatting and defacements to websites
  • Phishing – tracking of clones and re-hosted company webpages for phishing
  • Mobile – rogue mobile applications that are made to appear as a company’s mobile app 

FortiRecon Brand Protection sends your team immediate notifications of newly discovered issues and mitigates them in the form of takedown services for accounts, websites and rogue mobile applications.

As an extension of the Fortinet Security Fabric and early-stage attack-lifecycle protection, FortiRecon Brand Protection builds upon security controls already employed in the network to add brand-specific risk visibility and remediation. This enables your clients to address swiftly and proactively legal, compliance and related risks to their company brand. They are also able to protect their company’s reputation and minimize customer flight risk.
