Intelligence-Driven Protection
Our methodology is built on the principle that effective threat detection requires both breadth and depth. We cast a wide net to capture emerging threats while diving deep into specific signals to understand attacker tactics and infrastructure.
The NetzReporter Framework
1. Continuous Monitoring
We maintain 24/7 surveillance across multiple data sources:
- Domain registrations – New domains matching brand patterns, typosquatting variants, and lookalike combinations
- Certificate transparency logs – SSL certificates issued for suspicious domains
- Web content analysis – Automated scanning for brand assets, logos, and content theft
- Social media signals – Brand mentions, impersonation accounts, and threat actor activity
- Dark web intelligence – Underground forums, marketplaces, and leaked credentials
2. Signal Enrichment
Raw signals are enriched with contextual data to assess threat severity:
- Domain age, registrar, and hosting infrastructure analysis
- Historical WHOIS data and ownership patterns
- Technical fingerprinting of website frameworks and tools
- Correlation with known threat actor infrastructure
- Risk scoring based on multiple weighted factors
3. Expert Analysis
Automated detection is validated and contextualized by human analysts:
- False positive elimination through manual review
- Threat actor attribution and campaign mapping
- Impact assessment and prioritization
- Actionable recommendations tailored to each case
4. Rapid Response
Confirmed threats trigger our response protocols:
- Immediate client notification with evidence package
- Takedown requests to hosting providers and registrars
- Coordination with abuse teams and industry partners
- Evidence preservation for legal proceedings
5. Continuous Improvement
Every incident strengthens our capabilities:
- Pattern extraction for detection rule enhancement
- Threat actor infrastructure mapping updates
- Client-specific monitoring rule refinement
- Industry-wide intelligence sharing (anonymized)
