Phishing, impersonation, and social media scams aren’t just targeting big-name enterprises anymore. These attacks are happening at scale, affecting businesses of every size, every day.
While many organizations value the convenience and expertise of managed services, there’s been growing demand from smaller security teams for more flexible solutions — ones that balance autonomy with expert support.
After more than a decade at the forefront of Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS), BrandShield’s leadership recognized a clear shift: smaller security teams wanted the flexibility to manage phishing and impersonation risks themselves, while still benefiting from the guidance of an experienced DRPS partner.
That realization led to the creation of BrandShield Resolve.
BrandShield Resolve is designed to make external cybersecurity more accessible. By automating many of the time-consuming tasks traditionally performed by threat hunters and packaging enterprise-grade protection into a SaaS model, Resolve gives smaller teams a more flexible way to detect and respond to external threats.
What Is BrandShield Resolve?
BrandShield Resolve is an AI-powered SaaS solution designed to help organizations monitor and respond to phishing, brand impersonation, social media fraud, malicious domains, and dark web threats.
It gives security teams more control over how incidents are handled while still allowing them to draw on BrandShield’s SOC support when needed.
By automating parts of the threat-hunting process, Resolve can help reduce manual work, improve response speed, and make external threat protection more practical for lean security teams.
Why Now?
The threat landscape has changed quickly.
According to BrandShield’s 2025 CyberScam Report, security leaders are increasingly concerned about AI-fueled threats and the growing overlap between phishing, impersonation, compromised credentials, and other external risks.
The report is based on responses from 200 CISOs across the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union.
BrandShield Resolve was built for this environment.
By combining automated threat monitoring, AI-powered clustering, and user-controlled remediation, Resolve gives smaller teams a way to close external cybersecurity gaps without requiring a large in-house threat-hunting operation.
How Does BrandShield Resolve Work?
BrandShield Resolve is a SaaS-based solution, so there is no hardware deployment or complex local installation.
At the heart of Resolve is BrandShield’s clustering technology. It analyzes external threats, identifies patterns, and helps connect related activity across different digital assets.
That clustering capability is powered by AI.ClusterX, BrandShield’s threat-clustering technology used across its solutions.
The process is designed to be simple and continuous:
Real-Time Threat Monitoring
Resolve monitors for threats such as phishing websites, fake social media profiles, malicious or lookalike domains, and dark web activity.
AI-Powered Clustering Analysis
Rather than treating every threat as an isolated incident, BrandShield’s AI looks for relationships between assets. This helps reveal coordinated campaigns and recurring patterns.
Self-Managed Remediation
Security teams can manage incidents directly and initiate remediation workflows themselves, giving them more control over the response process.
24/7 SOC Support
When additional help is needed, BrandShield’s SOC team can provide support, guidance, and incident-response assistance.
Designed for Security Leaders Who Need to Do More With Less
BrandShield Resolve is built for organizations that need external threat protection but do not necessarily have the resources of a large enterprise security team.
It can support teams that are just beginning to formalize their external cybersecurity strategy, as well as organizations looking to complement existing internal controls with broader visibility beyond the perimeter.
By automating many resource-intensive monitoring and investigation tasks, Resolve can help smaller security teams work more efficiently.
At the same time, BrandShield’s broader External Cybersecurity offering provides coverage for phishing, malicious websites, brand and executive impersonation, rogue apps, fake ads, and dark web risks.
Why External Threat Protection Matters
Many phishing and impersonation attacks happen outside the corporate network.
A fake website may be hosted by a third party. A fraudulent social profile may target customers directly. A lookalike domain may be used to capture credentials or payments.
Traditional internal tools remain essential. However, they cannot directly remove external infrastructure that an organization does not control.
This is why security teams increasingly need visibility beyond their own network.
Resolve helps extend that visibility while giving teams the flexibility to manage threats themselves or bring in BrandShield support when required.
