What is Digital Risk Protection (DRP)?

Digital Risk Protection is the practice of monitoring the open, deep and dark web for threats to your brand, data and people that live outside your own infrastructure.

Definition

Digital Risk Protection, defined

Digital Risk Protection (DRP) is the continuous monitoring and mitigation of external threats to your organisation that exist beyond your network perimeter — brand impersonation, leaked credentials and data, phishing infrastructure and targeted attack planning. Where attack surface management secures the assets you own, DRP watches what others are doing with your brand, data and people across the surface, deep and dark web, so you can act before harm is done.

DRP vs ASM: ASM secures what you own and expose. DRP protects against threats outside your perimeter that involve your brand, data and people. They are complementary.

Why it matters

The perimeter is no longer the boundary

A spoofed domain, a leaked credential or a post on a leak site can damage your organisation without ever touching your network. DRP gives you visibility and early warning where traditional controls can’t reach.
