Trusted by the world’s best companies
A Malicious Ad Is Often Just the Beginning
Paid ads can act as the front door to a much larger scam. One click on a sponsored search result or social media ad can lead a customer to a phishing page, counterfeit store, fake support account, malicious app, or cloned website.
BrandShield traces suspicious ads beyond the initial creative to uncover the landing pages, accounts, domains, and other assets connected to the campaign. AI.ClusterX helps connect related threats into wider scam networks, allowing teams to act against the broader operation instead of treating every ad as an isolated incident.
Paid Ad Scam Protection
Paid advertising has become a powerful distribution channel for online scams. Fraudsters create ads that copy your brand name, trademarks, messaging, and creative, then use trusted search and social platforms to reach customers at the moment they are ready to click or buy.
BrandShield continuously monitors paid search and social advertising for malicious ads impersonating your brand. We identify suspicious creatives, advertisers, keywords, and landing pages, helping teams uncover the scam behind the ad and take action quickly.
