2024: Optimizing the ability to monitor illegitimate resources

The updated BI.ZONE Brand Protection helps you find fraudulent resources even more efficiently. The developer announced this on August 9, 2024.

The updated release expanded the ability to monitor illegitimate resources, made changes at the platform kernel level and updated the interface. Now controlling potential reputation threats with BI.ZONE Brand Protection is even more convenient and effective.

Platform performance improved with kernel updates. The interface has also become more convenient: now, for a holistic picture, all data is displayed on the main dashboard. This makes it easier for companies to analyze their actions to protect the brand from illegitimate use. 

BI.ZONE Brand Protection specialists have implemented phishing searches in advertisements posted on social networks and search engines. The platform automatically monitors advertising campaigns launched by scammers. Monitoring of phishing ads in aggregators also appeared.   The updated platform can search for and block modified and unofficial mobile applications hosted on various sites. Having discovered such an application, BI.ZONE Brand Protection specialists promptly notify the company about this and contact the resource administration so that it removes the program.

Another change is the expansion of shadow forum monitoring capabilities. Now monitoring tools allow you to find the IP addresses of companies in the lists of targets for cyber attacks; leaked client databases, including styler logs; as well as messages about the search for insiders - employees of companies who are ready to disclose confidential data. According to analyst BI.ZONE Brand Protection, most often scammers are looking for insiders working in mobile operators, banks and government organizations. 

Other updates include detailing the results of monitoring tools. A separate card is provided for each fraudulent resource, leak or information attack. It contains basic information: the domain and URL of an illegitimate site; belonging of a leak to a specific type - a collection; victims' data - bank card number, F.I.O. holder, phone, IP address, etc.

We always pay great attention to feedback from our customers when planning updates and making improvements. In this release, we also took into account our many years of experience and adjusted the logic of the platform. Now companies get all the necessary data even faster. This allows you to analyze the dynamics of reputation protection and the current status of all detected fraudulent resources, leaks and information attacks. At the same time, it is convenient to work with the platform: this is a cloud service that does not require integration into the infrastructure, and to access the platform, the company's employees need to enter only credentials, - said Dmitry Kiryushkin, head of BI.ZONE Brand Protection.
