Phishing
Phishing protection
Phishing wears your brand to trick your customers. The way to protect them is to remove the infrastructure behind the attack, the lookalike domains and fake pages, before it reaches the inbox.
What phishing is
Phishing is a social-engineering attack that tricks people into handing over credentials, payment data, or other sensitive information by impersonating a trusted brand, person, or service. A typical campaign sends an urgent message that links to a lookalike page, the page captures whatever is entered, and the attacker uses it for fraud or account takeover.
It is brand impersonation operationalized for theft, which is why phishing protection sits inside brand impersonation protection. The page or message almost always borrows a real brand, and the domains and hosts behind it are exactly what monitoring and takedowns target.

How nebty protects your brand
We start where the attack lives. Our domain monitoring watches the lookalike space around your brand, so the domains used for phishing surface as they are registered, often before the first email goes out. When a phishing page is live, our takedown service removes it on demand and submits it to anti-phishing blocklists in parallel, so browsers warn users during the takedown window.
Takedowns run with no subscription, and you only pay for the ones that succeed. For the email side, our guides cover email spoofing, business email compromise, and QR phishing in depth.
