Introduction
A prominent U.S. county, which serves a population of 4.5 million residents, has engaged CST to protect its leadership profiles and brand reputation from threats such as phishing, spoofing, and impersonation.
Challenges
The safeguarding of executive identities against potential breaches is becoming increasingly critical due to the surge in phishing and spoofing attacks aimed at the general public. Additionally, the misuse of brands is prevalent across various online platforms, including the surface web, deep web, and dark web, further complicating the landscape of digital security.
CST Solution
Threat intelligence plays a crucial role in the early identification of phishing and impersonation attempts, enabling organizations to respond swiftly to potential threats. Dark web monitoring further enhances security by uncovering stolen data and monitoring discussions related to attacks, providing insights into emerging risks. Additionally, brand monitoring is essential for detecting fraudulent domains and accounts that exploit an entity’s identity, safeguarding its reputation. Finally, attack surface management offers visibility into external assets and vulnerabilities, allowing organizations to proactively address security gaps and strengthen their defenses.
