Find the fakes before they find your customers.
Attackers borrow your name wherever it works: a domain one letter off from yours, a fake profile of one of your executives, a repackaged copy of your app. Cypho searches the web, social media and app stores for your name, domains, logo and keywords, and hands you each hit with its context, severity and recommended actions.

Where your name gets misused.
Impersonation and leaks happen on platforms you don't run. We watch them for you.
Phishing, impersonation and fake apps
Phishing sites, fake social accounts and cloned apps all trade on your identity. We monitor the web, social media and app stores, report unauthorized use of your brand and help you respond quickly, which protects your customers as well as your reputation.
Sensitive data exposure
Secrets and internal data leak through code commits, exposed APIs and dark web channels, often without anyone noticing. We watch the open and dark web for leaks, secrets pushed to GitHub and exposed APIs, and alert you as soon as something turns up.
File sharing and messaging oversight
Internal documents, brand assets and credentials spread fast through file-sharing services and messaging apps. We watch both for improper use and alert you when something suspicious appears, so you can contain it early.
Payment data and fraud
Stolen card data usually turns up on underground forums and dark web marketplaces before it's used. We search those sources for card details linked to your brand or your customers and alert you on a match, so you can act before the fraud happens.
How we find misuse of your brand.
Similar domains
Our scan engines look for sites that copy you through typosquatting, lookalike names or similar logos, using AI-based recognition on your brand name, website URL, logo and keywords. Each domain gets a similarity score against your real one. The higher the score, the likelier it's a phishing attempt.
Social media impersonation
We find accounts on popular social platforms posing as your official pages or your executives. You judge the threat each one poses and open an issue to track it.
Rogue mobile apps
We track apps that impersonate yours in official app stores, and unofficial versions of your app carrying injected malicious files, on clear and dark web platforms.
Digital risk protection
One false story can undo years of reputation. We review mentions of your company on news sites, search engines, forums, social networks and code repositories so you can respond quickly.

Alert
Confirmed findings become issues with their context, a severity and recommended actions, and you're alerted when they're raised. Suspicious accounts you spot in the results can be opened as issues yourself.
Findings are checked before they reach your list.
Candidates wait in an in-review queue until they're confirmed, so what reaches your issue list is worth opening. From there you can build reports on critical issues and share them with the teams handling the response.

Things people ask about Brand Protection.
What exactly do you search for?
Your brand name, website URL, logo and relevant keywords. We look across websites, social media, mobile app stores, news sites, search engines, forums and code repositories.
How do you decide which lookalike domains matter?
Each one gets a similarity score for how closely it matches your real domain. The higher the score, the more likely it's a phishing attempt, so those go to the top of the list.
Do you cover our executives as well as the company?
Yes. We look for social media accounts impersonating your executives, and for leaked credentials or misinformation about people affiliated with your company.
What about fake versions of our mobile app?
We track apps that impersonate yours in official stores, and unofficial builds with injected malicious files, on both clear and dark web platforms.
