Brand monitoring Monitoring and Detection: Primer
RCCE students will learn brand monitoring and protection through threat intelligence including domain impersonation detection, typosquatting monitoring, social media brand abuse, and counterfeit detection. RCCE students will learn to establish brand monitoring programs that detect unauthorized use of organizational brands and trademarks, identify phishing domains and lookalike websites, monitor social media platforms for brand impersonation, detect counterfeit products and unauthorized resellers, coordinate takedown actions with registrars and platform providers, analyze brand abuse trends, and integrate brand monitoring findings into broader threat intelligence and anti-fraud programs. This monitoring course teaches comprehensive detection and observability strategies for proactive security operations. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn to instrument systems for security telemetry, build detection pipelines, configure alerting, and maintain monitoring coverage as environments evolve. Students gain the visibility and detection capabilities needed to catch threats early.
