TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BrandProtect™ today announced that Viewpost®, a leader in the emerging secure transactions marketplace, has chosen BrandProtect’s threat monitoring and brand protection technology platform to safeguard Viewpost’s complex external attack surface against the growing range of beyond the perimeter threats.
Viewpost invented, deployed and now manages, a secure, interoperable business-to-business cloud-based application and network that allows companies of any size to connect and exchange electronic invoice and payment transactions. Because of the sensitive financial information it handles and the potential ramifications of attackers gaining access to the credentials and data of its customers’ Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable (AP) teams, it knew that security considerations needed to be architected into the network from the very beginning.
“Our clients trust us with their financial information – what they're buying, who they're doing business with, who their vendors and resources are,” said Christopher Pierson, EVP, General Counsel and CSO, Viewpost. “Security is baked into everything we do, including the application, company and even the fabric of the people we hire. And we have to protect that both within our walls and beyond the bounds of Viewpost to cope with emerging threats.”
To ensure the highest standards of network integrity, service trust, and reputational excellence, Viewpost engaged with BrandProtect to provide round-the-clock monitoring of harmful external threats, accurate threat and incident analysis, daily situation reports, and fast takedowns of illegal and infringing materials. Viewpost now relies on BrandProtect’s technology platform and services to monitor for myriad threats including domain monitoring, phishing and identity theft, rogue mobile apps, masquerading social media profiles, and harmful or infringing activity across social domains and social media.
“We made a deliberate, strategic decision to work with the vendor that combined breadth of technology and market expertise with ease of implementation and a business and service model that matched our needs,” said Marc Dionne, Director of Regulatory Risk, Viewpost. “Early in our evaluation process, we realized that BrandProtect was definitely one of those vendors that seemed to do exactly what we needed. We knew they would watch our online presence, protecting not just our brand, but our customers and our partners.”
“As businesses grow and prosper, they are increasingly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals,” said Roberto Drassinower, CEO, BrandProtect. “Threats are becoming more complex, as hackers are more organized than ever and employing a wide range of attacks to exploit every potential vulnerability. Viewpost has created an innovative payments marketplace that requires the utmost levels of security. By implementing holistic monitoring, it will better protect its customers and partners by gaining visibility and actionable intelligence on illegal, infringing, and potentially damaging activities by third parties, hacktivists, activists and other threat actors. We look forward to working closely with the forward-thinking Viewpost security team to ensure that external threats are no match for its comprehensive security.”
During a live, one-hour webinar on Wednesday December 9th at 2:00 p.m. ET, Pierson, Dionne and moderator Greg Mancusi-Ungaro, chief marketing officer, BrandProtect, will detail their perspectives on the external cyber threats Viewpost is facing and the actions it is taking to quickly understand and mitigate those threats. They will explore topics including how attack surfaces are changing in the digital economy, what threats matter to Viewpost, how it prioritizes and combats those threats, and why it chose BrandProtect.
