Domain Detector

To assist corporations in combating cyber-squatting, CSC has developed Domain Detector, which monitors new registrations associated with your brands and trademarks across over 700 domain extensions.

There are several monitoring products available in the market place; what sets Domain Detector apart is the accuracy of its results and the fact that we identify and prioritize the results according to their importance to each brand owner. This subscription-based product provides:

  • Industry-leading registration detection technology to monitor registrations of exact matches, variants and typos of your brand
  • Categorization of results for relevance at the domain and web content level
  • Prioritization of results based on domain and web category, website activity, registrant and geographical factors combined with your input

CSC understands that each corporation has its own specific requirements. Domain Detector is configurable to match your needs. Features include:

  • Advanced Boolean logic, gathering relevant results using exclusion and focus terms
  • Typo-squatting searching technology that uncovers potential typo-registrations
  • Testing for active email or web sites associated with each result
  • Categorization and prioritization of results based on client-specific factors
  • Simple and intuitive report formats

Case Management

Once Domain Detector has delivered your results it is then important to take the appropriate action against the domain names identified. For a brand owner the time it takes to take action against 3rd party registrations is of the highest importance as everyday that goes past will increase the impact that domain name has on your brand. This is where CSC’s integrated online case management system will allow you to take the following actions:

  • Enforce > Priority high > Take immediate action
  • Track > Potential high priority > Monitor for change
  • Ignore > Priority low > Archive for compliance

CSC’s case management system will allow you to take your Domain Detector reports and give you an end-to-end solution, in managing, tracking and enforcing your brands. Helping you reduce the impact of 3rd party registrations and save you time in managing the process.

Subscribing to Domain Detector and Case Management provides you with the vital few results rather than the trivial many based on your specific requirements and their potential impact to your brand. Domain Detector helps you enforce your rights quickly and with confidence.
