In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, staying ahead of threats like brand impersonation and domain spoofing requires real-time vigilance. Silent Push’s Monitors feature helps users to proactively detect and respond to malicious activities by tracking specific queries across its vast datasets.
Monitors are automated tools that continuously track predefined queries, such as domain lookups, brand impersonation attempts, or DNS data anomalies. By setting up Monitors, users can monitor specific URLs, domains, or patterns across our extensive Web Data, WHOIS Data, and DNS Data repositories. For example, a Monitor might track queries like “explore-recipes/favicon-impersonation-recipes?query/” to detect fake brand assets or “padns/lookup/query/any/silentpush.com” to ensure the integrity of Silent Push’s own domain.
Monitors enhance protection
Monitors leverage advanced query types, including Brand Impersonation and Domain Impersonation, to safeguard users. Here’s how they work:
Real-Time Detection: Monitors run continuously, scanning datasets for matches to user-defined queries. For instance, the gov.lv - Forward ANY Monitor tracks government-related domains, while SP Forward ANY ensures broad coverage of Silent Push’s infrastructure.
Customizable Alerts: Users can activate or deactivate Monitors (as seen with the toggle switches) and receive history updates. This flexibility allows teams to focus on high-priority threats, such as phishing domains created within the last seven days.
Actionable Insights: The Explore option linked to each Monitor provides detailed insights, allowing users to investigate flagged activities and integrate findings with tools like Splunk SOAR or ServiceNow for automated responses.
Whether detecting favicon impersonation or spoofed domains, these tools provide early warnings, helping organizations protect their brand integrity and user trust. The ability to filter and refresh data ensures that even newly created threats—like those monitored for 0 days—are quickly identified.
Stay ahead with monitors
To maximize protection, users should:
Regularly update Monitor queries to reflect new threat patterns.
Review history logs to identify recurring issues.
Collaborate with team members to cover diverse threat vectors.
