What is social media brand protection?

Continuous monitoring helps organisations identify threats earlier, reduce customer exposure to fraud and respond quickly before scams spread across multiple platforms.

Social Media Threats

How unphish protects your brand across every threat type

Social media threats take many forms, from fake accounts impersonating your brand to phishing campaigns and fraudulent advertisements targeting your customers. unphish continuously monitors supported social media platforms to detect these threats early, helping organisations investigate incidents quickly and support coordinated enforcement before they can cause widespread harm.

Social Media Impersonation

Cybercriminals create fake social media profiles using your organisation's name, logo and branding to appear legitimate. These accounts deceive customers, promote fraudulent offers and redirect users to phishing websites while damaging trust in your brand.

Fake Social Ads

Fraudulent advertisements misuse your branding to promote fake offers, counterfeit products or malicious websites. Designed to appear authentic, these campaigns expose customers to scams while putting your organisation's reputation at risk.

Social Media Phishing

Attackers use fake profiles, direct messages, comments and posts to trick users into revealing sensitive information or visiting fraudulent websites. Early detection helps reduce customer exposure and disrupt phishing campaigns before they spread.

Fake Giveaways

Scam giveaways impersonate trusted brands to convince users to share personal information, make payments or click malicious links. unphish helps identify these fraudulent campaigns early and supports rapid enforcement to better protect your customers.
