Go From Brand Monitoring to Active Response With Recorded Future Through FraudWatch Partnership

**BOSTON – August 1, 2018** – Recorded Future, the leading threat intelligence provider, has announced it will now provide takedown services as a part of the company’s brand monitoring offering through a new partnership with FraudWatch International, Inc. This feature enhances the company’s brand protection services, which include defenses against social media brand abuse and typosquatting, the detection of fraudulent websites, and more. This announcement comes following the publishing of “The Forrester Wave™: Digital Risk Protection, Q3 2018,” in which Recorded Future was named a Leader.

Fake accounts, apps, and websites are often designed to profit from maliciously redirected or accidental traffic, but they can also result in major damage to an organization’s brand reputation. These accounts can host inappropriate content and target customers with phishing scams. Additionally, these fake domains can host malware or trick users into giving away their credentials, representing a serious security risk to consumers.

“Comprehensive threat intelligence must include brand protection that addresses both reputational concerns for organizations and online abuse risks for customers of those organizations. Threat intelligence starts with detection and drives to security actions. Partnerships with companies like FraudWatch are critical to delivering risk reduction for our customers.” — Matt Kodama, Vice President of Product at Recorded Future
