The Future of Cybersecurity and Brand Protection: Introducing GlobalBlock

Oct 11, 2024, 12:17 PM

Cybersecurity and brand protection are continuously evolving, demanding cutting-edge solutions that align with the complexities of the modern digital environment. Recognising the obstacles many companies face in securing their online brands, we have introduced an innovative solution: GlobalBlock.

What Is GlobalBlock?

GlobalBlock is the pioneering service in unified domain name blocking. It provides brand owners with unprecedented protection against third-party domain name registrations across many domain spaces—a capability previously considered unachievable. Through GlobalBlock, brands can safeguard their identities more effectively across the digital space, preventing unauthorised use and protecting against potential infringements.

The service focuses sharply on "exact matches" of your brand name. Moreover, GlobalBlock offers two types of products designed to cater to various levels of protection needs:

  • GlobalBlock: Offers instant exact-match coverage across hundreds of domain name extensions, providing extensive brand protection.
  • GlobalBlock Plus: This option enhances your brand protection strategy by blocking a select number of look-alike variations often used in online scams.

GlobalBlock’s Unique Features:

  • Direct blocking across all GlobalBlock TLDs (constantly updated list)
  • Premium domain name blocking
  • Priority Auto Catch
  • Domain unblocking
  • Unlimited blocking of main labels (GlobalBlock Plus)
  • Blocking of homoglyph confusable characters (GlobalBlock Plus)

Why Choose GlobalBlock?

With GlobalBlock, your brand enjoys a suite of benefits designed to provide comprehensive online brand protection. Here’s why you should consider it:

Cost Reduction

Compared to individual domain name registrations, GlobalBlock represents significant cost savings. There is no need to maintain each domain, freeing up resources that can be better used elsewhere.

Direct Protection

GlobalBlock's state-of-the-art technology directly connects to all participating registries, applying blocks in real-time with no additional action required from the registrant.

Global Coverage

GlobalBlock is not limited to one provider; it unites registries and TLD operators, aiming to provide coverage across all available TLDs.

Priority Auto Catch & Domain Unblocking

The block technology continues to work even after the initial order. Thanks to the Priority Auto Catch feature, any domain that could not be blocked initially will be caught the moment it becomes available. Plus, you can move domains out of your block whenever you wish. (Move out for use in a campaign or brand).

Eligibility

GlobalBlock is available for:

  • Registered trademarks
  • Unregistered trademarks
  • Company or registered organisation names
  • Celebrity names

How Does GlobalBlock Work?

Unlike traditional 'domain registration' or 'reserving lists', GlobalBlock directly blocks all available names matching your brand through proprietary technology. These names never appear in the relevant zone files, only in a standard Whois lookup.

Once you apply for GlobalBlock via your account manager, we will handle all applications and administration.
