EBRAND Joins APWG.EU, Leveraging Cybercrime Data Clearinghouse for Cutting-Edge R&D

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 14, 2021 (Newswire.com) - EBRAND has joined the APWG.EU as a collaborator of the global institution, leveraging APWG's cybercrime event data resources in its development of counter-cybercrime technologies.

EBRAND launched a new cybersecurity offering focused on digital risk protection, providing cyber threat intelligence to combat phishing look-alike domains and brand impersonation at the very root cause.

"We believe that cyber threats like phishing can only be fought together as an industry. APWG is the right partner for this with the eCrime eXchange (eCX) platform," said Lutz Berneke, CEO of EBRAND.

"With the APWG eCX feed completing our diverse intelligence sources, we will improve our products' detection, analysis, and take-down of malicious actors and scams," Mr. Berneke said.

APWG Secretary General Peter Cassidy said, "We look forward to EBRAND's success, using APWG's data for protecting brands that customers trust. APWG's service to industry is an honor - but there is extra pleasure in witnessing new ideas and approaches being deployed against the scourge of cybercrime."

EBRAND has a history in the counter-cybercrime world that reaches back almost as far as the foundation of the APWG, establishing its services suite as a major European brand protector in 2006.

EBRAND offers all-round business solutions so that companies can create, develop and protect their domain names, brands and digital assets on the Internet - easily, simply and pragmatically. EBRAND's platform collects and processes data from diverse systems to quickly identify and monitor malicious domains.

"We want to share back with the community our findings to stop these threats as fast as possible," said Jano Vico, Head of Product of EBRAND.
