Protection Capabilities
Cyber attacks that rely on public social media platforms can be more difficult to detect and disrupt as they rely on a single party to take action — the platform itself. Netcraft’s social media monitoring and takedown platform enables you to track platform misuse and launch takedowns against these criminal impersonation attempts.
Detect, block, and take down impersonations of your brand across Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Telegram, YouTube, Weibo, Pinterest, Bluesky, WhatsApp* and more.

Identify and remove fake executive and employee profiles across social channels to reduce scams used to extract sensitive information and conduct advance-fee fraud. (Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Telegram, TikTok, X, Weibo, and more).
