Brand Owner
Building a strong brand takes time and investment. Don’t let cybercriminals undo all your hard work.
Maintain brand trust and integrity
A strong brand is integral to differentiating your company from the competition to attract new customers. It is also a big reason that your existing customers keep coming back.
When a customer chooses your product or service, they are also buying into your brand. Cybercrime can break trust in that brand in an instant. Whether it is unauthorized use of your logo, setting up a fake shop, or an attempt to sell counterfeit goods, attacks on your brand destroy confidence, and undermine marketing and advertising efforts to grow your business.

Protect your customers’ (and your) bottom line
Manually tracking down malicious websites can be slow and ineffective, allowing criminals to inflict untold harm to your brand. Before you’re aware there’s a problem, a cybercriminal could set up hundreds of fake shops or send millions of emails that exploit your brand’s identity.
Netcraft ensures that malicious content is removed quickly and efficiently, typically within hours. Once confirmed, attacks impersonating your brand are blocked in our threat feeds, protecting billions of people. We automatically identify hosting providers, domain registrars, webmasters and others, and determine how to notify them most effectively (via email, API, private contact, or otherwise).
