The Challenge

Phishing Infrastructure Launches Faster
Than Security Teams Can Manually Detect

Phishing operators targeting financial institutions, insurers, and consumer brands have industrialized their deployment. A convincing fake banking site can be registered, hosted, and live within hours. By the time manual detection finds it, thousands of customer interactions may have already occurred. Financial sector organizations are disproportionately targeted, banking, securities, and insurance brands are the most impersonated categories globally.

01
Phishing Sites Go Live
Before Teams Can Detect Them

Manual brand monitoring, keyword searches, Google alerts, periodic scans, cannot keep pace with phishing operators who use automated site generation to spin up dozens of lookalike domains simultaneously. The average phishing site is active for less than 24 hours before operators rotate to new infrastructure, meaning detection speed is the entire margin between customer fraud prevention and failure.

02
Rogue Mobile Apps in
Third-Party Stores

Mobile app impersonation is a growing vector for financial services fraud. Rogue apps mimicking official banking and insurance applications appear in third-party Android app stores and even periodically in major marketplaces, collecting credentials, intercepting SMS authentication codes, and redirecting transactions. Official app stores provide limited protection for users who sideload or operate in markets with limited official store access.

03
Regulators Requiring Active
Brand Protection Programs

Financial regulators across APAC increasingly require financial institutions to demonstrate active brand protection programs, not just reactive takedown capabilities. Organizations must show continuous monitoring coverage, documented detection timelines, and successful takedown rates to satisfy regulatory examination and consumer protection requirements. Passive or ad-hoc programs no longer meet the standard.

How ThreatBook Solves It

Detect in 30 Minutes,
Take Down Within 72 Hours

DRPS establishes a complete digital footprint for your brand, official domains, logos, registered trademarks, app identifiers, and social handles, then continuously monitors the web, app stores, social platforms, WeChat, and the DNS namespace for unauthorized use. The detection engine is built on millions of distinct phishing signatures, enabling pattern matching that catches lookalike infrastructure even when operators vary domain names and page structure to avoid exact-match detection.

When a phishing site, rogue app, or fraudulent account is detected, the initial notification arrives within 30 minutes. DRPS then executes the takedown process, coordinating with registrars, hosting providers, app stores, and platform trust-and-safety teams.

How It Works

From Brand Footprint to
Takedown Confirmation

DRPS operates as a fully managed SaaS service. After initial brand footprint registration, monitoring and takedown execution require no ongoing analyst time. Your team receives structured alerts and takedown status updates, not raw data requiring manual investigation.

1
Digital Footprint Mapping

DRPS establishes your brand asset inventory: primary and subsidiary domains, official app identifiers, registered logos, official social handles, and brand-associated keywords. This footprint becomes the detection baseline for all subsequent monitoring.

2
Phishing Infrastructure Detection

Continuous scanning across web, app stores, social platforms, WeChat, and the DNS namespace. The detection engine runs 24/7, comparing newly registered domains, newly submitted apps, and new social accounts against your brand footprint using multi-dimensional pattern matching.

3
Rapid Notification

Alert delivered within 30 minutes of detection, including a screenshot of the identified infrastructure, registration or hosting details, detection confidence score, and DRPS assessment of customer fraud risk. Your security team reviews and approves takedown initiation.

4
Takedown Execution

DRPS handles the full takedown process, filing with registrars, hosting providers, app stores, and social platforms. Status updates are delivered throughout the process.

Real Outcomes

What Security Teams Achieve with ThreatBook

90%+
Takedown success rate within the 72-hour SLA window

DRPS's established relationships with registrars, hosting providers, and platform trust teams deliver successful takedowns on more than 9 in 10 cases within 72 hours, a no-fee guarantee backs the cases where that target isn't met.

30 min
Initial notification from detection, every case, every hour

Phishing operators depend on dwell time. The 30-minute notification SLA means defenders can issue customer warnings and initiate takedown within the first critical window, before significant fraud volume accumulates on the fake infrastructure.

Zero
Analyst hours required for routine monitoring and takedown management

DRPS operates as a fully managed SaaS service. Security teams receive alerts and takedown confirmations without committing analyst time to dark web investigation, registrar communications, or platform abuse filing workflows, all managed by the DRPS service team.
