This episode dives into the critical intersection of brand protection, threat intelligence, and external attack surface management (EASM) and lays out a practical, intelligence-driven blueprint you can start applying today.We begin with the state of brand abuse: a sharp year-over-year surge in online scams ranging from HR recruitment fraud to “money-flipping” schemes and look-alike social accounts. Why it matters: your brand is the first—and often only—trust signal customers and candidates use. One exposure to a toxic impersonation can drive nearly half of your audience to disengage, and repeated incidents permanently erode trust. We unpack a proven five-step defense: (1) audit every branded asset, including domains, logos, executives, shadow sub-brands, and “gray space” like Reddit, marketplaces, and the dark web; (2) get proactive with trademark/domain registrations (including typos and homoglyphs) and claim social handles preemptively; (3) stand up continuous monitoring that automates takedown triggers across malicious domains, fake accounts, and credential-stuffing chatter; (4) pair that automation with human analysts who can triage signal from noise, validate threats, and read adversary intent; and (5) execute adversary disruption—fast, repeatable takedowns; block-listing; and workflowed remediations that actually remove the threat, not just alert on it.Next, we zoom out to EASM: your real attack surface now spans cloud, SaaS, subsidiaries, forgotten assets, and exposed IoT. We break down how managed EASM inventories unknown assets, contextualizes business impact, pressure-tests exposure (e.g., OWASP-aligned checks at scale), and prioritizes fixes based on exploitability and value to attackers. Done right, EASM compresses “find to fix” timelines and gives SOC teams repeatable coverage without burning cycles.Then, proactive threat intelligence and hunting: waiting for alerts misses...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/pL79_MJFeJHamQ_ztImsGmDSMdl27VMk_30TAkieujE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yNzg5/ZjlhNzM5Y2M4Njli/NjkxNzgyODA2Nzhi/MDI2ZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
