Qualys Adds Threat Intelligence for Typosquatting and Defamatory Domains to External Attack Surface Management

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management with External Attack Surface Management introduces automated detection of typosquatted and defamatory domains to reduce risks from credential harvesting, phishing, malware downloads, and reputational harm, leveraging prebuilt domain permutations and a negative sentiment dictionary with DNS/WHOIS lookups to uncover suspicious registrations; findings appear in the EASM Domains inventory for investigation, and the report recommends continuous monitoring, proactive typo-domain registration, SSL use, stakeholder notification, and takedowns—culminating with an offer to start a 30-day trial.
