Digital Risk Protection Preventing, monitoring, countering online threats
Comprehensive external threat monitoring using AI, digital identity–based risk scoring, and machine learning to detect phishing, fraud, and impersonation for rapid takedown.
Online landscapes shift rapidly, and cybercriminals increase their efforts every year
Digital scams put customers, careers, and revenues under threat, so businesses must act fast to mitigate risks. When brands fortify themselves with Digital Risk Protection solutions, they disarm fraudsters, giving colleagues the tools to fight their threats.
Hackers launch a fresh attack every 30 seconds.
How will your team handle the next attack?
Since 2019, phishing attacks increased by 150% year on year.
Across all regions and sectors, data breaches cost $4.35 million on average throughout 2022.
More than 3/4 of experts believe their firm became more vulnerable to cyberattacks in recent years.
Tackling risks as soon as they appear
Successful teams must tackle digital risks before they develop, rather than after an attack. Proactive risk management requires effective protection across the full range of online attack surfaces.
Hackers deploy social engineering tactics to trick consumers into revealing their PII (Personal Identifiable Information) over email. Using Digital Risk Protection, companies protect their clients from fraud by identifying malicious domains with active MX servers. Blocking these websites protects your assets and prevents phishers from launching their scams.
Businesses must defend their inboxes against spear phishing, as business email compromise puts data, infrastructure, and finances at risk. Every time a colleague downloads malware or transfers funds to a scammer, businesses suffer. With Digital Risk Protection, you’ll stop scams and fraud at the source (their MX servers), tackling spear phishing before it strikes.
Fraudsters use sponsored social media and paid search ads to impersonate brands, lure users to malicious sites, and harvest sensitive data. Continuous monitoring and rapid removal of these ads prevents scams from reaching potential victims.
Scammers host fraudulent websites that impersonate your brand to trick would-be customers. Targeting valuable personal data, these websites include:
- Job board scams
- Advanced fee scams
- Online purchasing scams
- Investment fraud
- Subscription scams
- Affiliate program scams
Tackling these scam sites, in all their shapes and forms, helps competent companies secure their assets.
Cybercriminals use forums, marketplaces, and encrypted channels on the dark web to trade stolen credentials, leaked data, and ready-made phishing kits. X-RAY monitors these hidden spaces for mentions of your brand, your domains, and your people. Your team learns about leaks and planned attacks early, and can act before the damage spreads.
Cybercriminals equip their social engineering scams with all kinds of stolen and fraudulent assets, faking websites, branding, social media profiles, website copy, and other content. EBRAND’s X-RAY disarms these content phishing attacks on two fronts, identifying faked assets and intercepting their distribution.
Impersonators falsify brands and colleagues on social media, supporting other phishing channels or running scams directly from the platform. To combat scams and fraud, businesses must monitor their online assets across social platforms to maintain their security, and that’s where Digital Risk Protection comes in.

Digital Risk Protection FAQs
What are the benefits of digital risk protection?
Digital risk protection strengthens your reputation, reduces data breaches, and cuts financial losses. Web crawlers, data analytics, and machine learning show your security team where attackers target your brand. Live alerts with AI risk scoring let them handle the most urgent threats first.
How does threat intelligence support digital risk management?
Threat intelligence shows you where your organization has weaknesses and which threats emerge online. With that view, you reinforce vulnerable assets and build defenses against specific threats instead of guessing where the next attack will land.
What are digital shadows and how do you protect them?
Digital shadows are the traces your organization’s digital footprint leaves online. Attackers use them to steal assets or plan fraud and cyberattacks. You protect them by monitoring for exposed assets and unusual activity, then enforcing against anything that infringes your brand.
What are the most common types of phishing attacks?
The most common types of phishing attacks include spear phishing, business email compromise (BEC), whaling, clone phishing, and smishing. Attackers also use angler phishing on social media, fake search engine results, tabnabbing, vishing, and AI phishing built on deepfakes and chatbots.
How does digital risk protection fit into MITRE ATT&CK and NIST?
Digital risk protection fits into MITRE ATT&CK by detecting and monitoring the tactics, techniques, and procedures attackers use against your brand, team, or clients. In the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, it supports two areas. X-RAY RADAR helps you understand threats, and TRACKER helps you manage and minimize them.
What is domain shadowing?
Domain shadowing is an attack where hackers take over a legitimate domain account and quietly create malicious subdomains for phishing, malware, or fraud. The main website keeps working as usual, so the attack stays easy to miss until the damage lands.
What is the best Digital Risk Protection Solution?
Look for broad threat coverage backed by people who respond to what it finds. EBRAND’s X-RAY monitors more than 1,000 data sources, including dark web forums, domain records, social media, and app stores. Cyberthreat analysts pair that coverage with support for takedowns.
