A Vietnamese bank can outsource takedown of fake banking sites and social media impersonation accounts. A telco can use phone number disruption to cut scam call campaigns that impersonate its brand.

Takes down scam and phishing infrastructure quickly: the site cites disruption within five minutes of detection and a 33-minute median phishing takedown. Reduces attacks before they go live through preemptive domain disruption. The vendor claims customers see 70% fewer attacks than non-customers.

Scam infrastructure is increasingly spread across domains, social media and phone numbers, so banks look for takedown services that operate across channels. Vietnamese banks and e-commerce brands facing fake sites and impersonation calls need the same managed disruption capability.
