DefendDomain

Stop Credential Harvesting
Before It Starts

Every day, attackers register domains that look identical to your login pages. Your employees and customers enter their credentials on pixel-perfect fakes — and you never know until it's too late.

DefendDomain detects cloned login portals, rogue SSL certificates, and lookalike domains the moment they appear — before a single credential is stolen.

Real threats targeting your domainExpert consultation, not a sales pitchNo obligation

Stolen credentials are the #1 attack vector — responsible for 80% of web application breaches. Attackers don't hack in, they log in.

We detect the fake login pages before credentials are entered.

DefendDomain monitors for cloned portals, lookalike domains with active login forms, and SSL certificates issued to impersonating sites — alerting you the moment they go live.

Understanding the threat

What is Credential Harvesting?

Credential harvesting is a cyber attack where adversaries create convincing replicas of legitimate login pages on lookalike domains to trick users into entering their usernames, passwords, and MFA codes.

Employee-Targeted (Corporate)

Attackers clone internal SSO, VPN, and email login portals on domains like your-company-sso.com to capture employee credentials and pivot into the corporate network.

Partially mitigated by SSO/IdP controls

Customer-Targeted (External)

Fake banking, e-commerce, and SaaS login pages harvest customer credentials at scale. These attacks erode trust and trigger regulatory reporting requirements.

Partially caught by fraud detection

Where We Help

Lookalike Domain Portals

Attackers register domains like yourcompany-login.com and deploy pixel-perfect clones of your real login page. These bypass all email-based defenses because users navigate there directly via phishing links.

We detect the cloned portal AND the lookalike domain infrastructure

Why Different Teams Choose DefendDomain

From the boardroom to the SOC floor, every team has a different reason to monitor for credential harvesting threats.

1

CISOs & Security Leaders

Eliminate credential theft before it leads to a breach

Real-time alerts on cloned login pages reduce your attack surface. Board-level reporting on credential harvesting threats detected and neutralised.

Fraud & Risk Teams

Stop customer credential theft at the source

Detect fake customer login portals before they generate fraud cases. Evidence packages accelerate investigations and reduce mean time to takedown.

SOC & Incident Response

Pre-triaged credential threats in your existing workflow

Cloned portal alerts arrive in Slack, Teams, Splunk, or Sentinel with screenshots, WHOIS data, and risk scores — ready for immediate action.

Why Your Current Controls Leave Gaps

Determined attackers find the blindspots in even well-configured security stacks. Here's what we hear most often — and why it matters.

"We have MFA everywhere"

MFA stops credential replay on your systems, but modern adversary-in-the-middle proxies capture session tokens in real time. And customer-facing services often don't support hardware MFA — stolen credentials still grant direct access.

Why MFA alone isn't enough

"We use a password manager"

Password managers prevent credential reuse, but they can't stop a user from entering a new password on a convincing fake page. If the lookalike domain is close enough, autofill may even populate credentials automatically.

Gaps in password manager protection

"We monitor the dark web"

Dark web monitoring detects credentials after they've been stolen and leaked. DefendDomain detects the harvesting infrastructure before a single credential is compromised — shifting you from reactive to proactive.

Moving from reactive to proactive

"Our email gateway blocks phishing links"

Email gateways filter links sent to corporate inboxes, but credential harvesting pages are reached via personal email, SMS, social media ads, and even QR codes — channels your gateway can't see.

Why gateways miss credential harvesting

Four layers of protection

How DefendDomain Stops Credential Harvesting

Every fake login page needs infrastructure — a domain, an SSL certificate, cloned HTML. We detect each component the moment it appears.

Domain Monitoring

Proactively monitors for lookalike domains that could be used to impersonate your brand. Our AI generates thousands of domain variations including typos, homoglyphs, and keyword combinations, then continuously scans for registrations.

  • Detects typosquatting and phishing domains
  • Monitors domain registrations in real-time
  • AI-powered threat scoring and prioritization
  • Automated evidence collection for takedowns
