Getting Started with Domain Monitoring: Part 1, Collection

This document provides an overview of domain monitoring as a brand-protection measure, outlining useful data sources (reported domains, newly registered domains, SSL certificate transparency logs, DNS) and key collection challenges such as inconsistent TLD data, historical data access, and long-term storage considerations. It emphasizes the risks of impersonating domains (phishing, BEC, counterfeit sales) and recommends monitoring and detection approaches rather than describing a specific incident.
