What is domain monitoring for typosquatting?

Domain monitoring tracks registrations similar to your brand. Services check new registrations for: **typosquatting** (misspellings), **homograph** attacks (lookalike characters), and keyword variations (brand-term.com).

Monitoring enables: early detection of **impersonation** setup, proactive takedown before attacks launch, and evidence gathering for enforcement actions.

Implementation: commercial services (**PhishLabs**, **Bolster**), DIY tools (**DNSTwist**), and certificate transparency monitoring. Combine automated monitoring with periodic manual review.
