Abuse of the domain name system (DNS) is increasing at an alarming rate. Phishing attacks, for example, doubled in volume during 2020 alone. The pharmaceutical, fashion, technology, retail, and financial services industries are among the hardest hit, with threats on the rise across the board.

Trends in domain name arbitration activity provide key insights into the problem, including how brand owners can help prevent abuse online. Indeed, a recent study analyzing of domain arbitration data over the past decade sheds light on the specific challenges brands face, as well as proactive brand protection strategies that can be employed to shield against opportunistic actors.

Join us on Tuesday, June 29, 2021, at 11:00 AM ET, for a webinar that explores trends in domain disputes and how brand owners can use global domain name arbitration data to formulate a game plan to protect their brands proactively against a never-ending stream of online threats.
