The search for DRP solutions, the acronym for Digital Risk Protection, has grown at the same rate as cases of data leakage and damage to the reputation of brands that have had information stolen in criminal actions. This is because DRP monitors threats to digital assets in all environments where exposure can occur. It thus accelerates the breadth and depth of protection for these assets in an organization. And when a malicious event is detected, the solution is able to take action, remove infringing content and mitigate the impact.

Emerging technology

According to Gartner, the DRP solution is a set of tools and services that has evolved from threat intelligence. Originally, while threat intelligence was intended to support security operations with human-based analysis, DRP focuses on increasing business resilience by protecting digital assets and brand reputation.

Although demand for this technology has grown, the digital risk protection market is still emerging. Today, there are approximately 50 suppliers worldwide, according to information from Gartner.

How the solution protects digital assets

DRP is made up of technologies that protect critical digital assets and data from external threats. The solution provides visibility into sources on the surface web, and the dark and deep web, in order to identify potential threats to critical data. It also provides contextual information on threat actors, and the tactics and processes used to conduct malicious activities. Support is provided in four areas:

• Mapping - identifying and understanding digital assets at risk;
• Monitoring - collecting and analyzing mapped data with risk prioritization and alert capabilities and issuing reports that provide actionable intelligence;
• Mitigation - activities required to improve business resilience using people, processes and technology, such as taking down an active threat and remediating misconfigured environments;
• Management - ongoing activities required to improve the security posture, prevent future threats and business operational impact, and implement effective protection against digital assets.

Strengthening the national digital risk protection market

Many of the challenges faced by Brazilian organizations are different from those faced by brands in other countries. That's why every security solution needs to consider the reality of the companies it will protect. Mantis is a solution that reduces digital risks and was developed with a purely national DNA, connected to the context of the brands that do business here.

There are many differentiators. Among them, Natural Language Processing (NLP), which gives Mantis the ability to find out what a mention or a detected event means. Whether in visual or audio form. By dealing with the nuances of human or natural language, such as spelling mistakes, slang or informal terms, NLP enables the understanding of social engineering contexts, automatic translation into different languages and also negative sentiments in messages. This helps to contextualize the malicious intent behind a cybercriminal's actions.

Mantis also reads images and describes audio. This means that if attack conversations detected on private messaging channels and dark web forums have not taken place through text, but through images and audio exchanges, Mantis scans and transcribes the content. This deepens the monitoring of brand assets. This is also done in relation to domain registrations, social media and email accounts for company and product names/images, in situations of fraudulent claims, advertisements and credential harvesting attacks.

And since digital initiatives that rely on the increased use of mobile devices are increasing the size of the exploitable attack surface, Mantis also automatically analyzes mobile applications. Mantis can identify weaknesses exposed within mobile applications on Google Play, such as keys, API URLs, passwords and sensitive information points.
