Netcraft Threat Detection & Domain Takedown Platform

Netcraft Threat Detection & Domain Takedown Platform is a brand protection solution that identifies, blocks, and removes malicious content targeting organizations. The platform uses AI-based threat detection to identify over 100 attack types including phishing, malware, fraudulent social media profiles, fake shops, and brand infringement. The detection engine operates with 250+ proxies to identify threats that use evasive techniques such as geo-blocking and cloaking. The platform analyzes 23 billion+ datapoints to detect phishing websites and other malicious activity. Fraudcast is the automated defense component that blocks attacks in near real-time across platforms and within browsers. The system triggers automated defenses when threats are detected to prevent damage before it spreads. The takedown service removes malicious content by automatically identifying hosting providers, domain registrars, social media platforms, and webmasters. The platform determines optimal notification methods including email, API, or private contacts. Netcraft reports a median phishing website takedown time of 1.9 hours, with 75% of takedowns executed through custom APIs or direct points of contact. Monitoring continues for seven days after takedown, and if malicious content returns, the takedown process restarts automatically. The platform provides web interfaces and APIs for integration with external threat intelligence and enterprise systems for tracking incident data and events. Netcraft has taken down 25 million+ phishing domains and handles 33% of global phishing attack takedowns.
