Global Tech Company Secures Brand Against Takeover Attacks and Impersonations

The Challenge

When a global tech company with over $2.5 billion in revenue and 7,000+ employees needed to secure its brand against attacks, it turned to SafeGuard Cyber. Our platform countered an Account Takeover Attack and saved the company time and resources for taking down imposter social accounts targeting customers.

An attacker took over the company’s LinkedIn account, evading detection from the incumbent provider, Proofpoint. This takeover threatened the company’s credibility and also its human capital, as the HR department had recently digitized the hiring process. Furthermore, the attacker began offering fraudulent support services through fake profiles on LinkedIn and Twitter infuriating the company’s customers.
