Phishing, Fraud and Scams
Kartos XTI Watchbots' automated and continuous monitoring capabilities of social media and internet and search terms associated with a brand without false positives allow our client, a public body, to locate and disable campaigns that usurp or misrepresent its name and brand in order to mislead citizens and users.
CHALLENGE
Due to its public service nature, our client needed to pinpoint both open fraudulent domains and active phishing, fraud and scam campaigns that were usurping its corporate identity to carry out the deception. The agency was aware that these social engineering techniques using its identity were being carried out recurrently on the internet and social networks and needed to find the cybersecurity tool that would allow it to quickly and effectively locate and disable those in place and detect new ones in real time, in order to neutralise them before they could reach citizens.
Solution
After analysing the client’s main security need and connecting it with other causes or derivatives, Enthec Solutions proposes to the organisation the acquisition of a Company Enterprise licence associated with its main domain, in order to, as a first step, locate and deactivate the active campaigns at the time the monitoring by Kartos begins. Once deactivation is achieved, continuous real-time monitoring allows the organisation to locate phishing, fraud and scam campaigns that usurp its identity, as well as spoofed domains as soon as they are activated or reactivated, and to immediately deactivate them.
In addition, the organisation monitors its external attack surface to locate open breaches and exposed vulnerabilities in the other categories controlled by Kartos XTI Watchbots, thus reinforcing its cybersecurity strategy through the incorporation of Kartos’ cyberintelligence capabilities.
Result
Thanks to Kartos’ automated word search capabilities, with false positive suppression, and continuous monitoring of the internet and social media, the agency has been able to deactivate phishing, fraud and phishing scams that impersonate your identity, as well as phishing, fraud and scam campaigns. In addition, it can now monitor in real time the appearance of new domains and similar campaigns and immediately deactivate them.
In addition, it uses the capabilities built into the Enterprise licence of the Kartos XTI Watchbots platform to protect its databases and extend its cybersecurity strategy to the external attack surface.
