Brandjacking is among the most common forms of cyberattacks globally. Twenty percent of consumers collectively lost more than $2.6 billion in 2022 due to imposter scams, according to U.S. FTC Consumer Sentinel Network’s data book. Website impersonation (also known as “brandjacking”) draws users to fraudulent copies of a brand’s website to trick them into revealing personal and financial account information used to steal their identities and funds.
Memcyco counters these assaults with an agentless Proof of Source Authenticity (PoSA™) technology that delivers Zero Day protection and real-time detection, helping to identify the attacks at the point of impact. PoSA™ provides the brands with full details of the attempted attack session to ensure complete visibility.
