What is Domain Monitor?
- Domain monitoring involves using software to automatically detect when domains that include your company name, or look extremely similar to it, are registered.
- Many organizations register the common variants of their domain (.net, .co, .io), etc but there are thousands of top-level domains, and registering them all can be time-consuming and cost-prohibitive.
- That’s where domain monitoring software comes in.
- Domain monitoring software (either standalone or part of a unified DRP platform) can automatically alert you when new or lookalike domains are created that include your company information.
- This can quickly tip you off to potential spear-phishing campaigns, typo-squatting, and other cyberattacks that could cost you time and money.
- Thousands of domains are registered or dropped every day, and it can be challenging to stay informed.
- DomainTools monitors do the heavy lifting for you, tracking many different kinds of information and sending you alerts as soon as changes are detected.
- Your investigations and domain management will benefit from our automated monitoring and alerting, available to all Personal and Enterprise members.
- Domain Monitor is a service allowing users to monitor the registration status of domains.
- The service alerts you via email to when monitored domains are nearing expiration and when they change status.
- Domain Monitor lets you keep a watchful eye on your domains…or anyone else’s! Expiration dates, status changes – just enter the domain names you want to monitor and the tool will notify you about crucial changes to registration on an ongoing basis.
Introduction
- Domain monitoring is a fundamental part of any brand protection program that involves tracking the registration of domains that have slight variation or permutation of the target company name or brand.
- This can include a spelling error, switched characters, or additional keywords added to the domain name.
- It may even not have a similar domain name, but the contents of the site are visually similar.
- Impersonating domains are subsequently used for phishing attacks, BEC campaigns, and for selling counterfeit goods.
- Left undetected, these domains can lead to data breaches, credential theft, significant brand and reputational damage, and loss of revenue.
