Webnames.ca Expands Brand Protection Capabilities with NameBlock’s AbuseShield and Brandlock
Vancouver, BC, February 26, 2025 - As the list of domain extensions grows, so do the threats facing brand owners. From phishing campaigns to impersonation domains, malicious actors are constantly evolving their tactics and traditional defensive registration strategies are no longer enough. To help customers stay ahead of these threats, Webnames is now offering AbuseShield and BrandLock, two powerful services from NameBlock that provide proactive, scalable protection.
“We’re seeing a shift in how brands approach domain protection,” said Garrett Saundry, Product Manager at Webnames.ca. “AbuseShield and BrandLock are built for users to shift their approach from reactive to preventative. These products give our customers the ability to lock down their brand integrity before bad actors can exploit it.”
AbuseShield employs advanced smart variant blocking technology that automatically blocks domain registrations that match patterns commonly used in abuse, helping prevent phishing, malware, and fraud before it starts and BrandLock uses exact match blocking that enables trademark holders to block identical domain names across hundreds of extensions without the cost or complexity of registering each one. These services are especially valuable for legal teams, brand managers, and security professionals looking to reduce risk, protect customers, and maintain trust online.
