DefendDomain
What does your organisation do?
We protect companies from their domain being spoofed (impersonated) online and being used as attacks against their employees, customers, and suppliers. We took down an attack last week where someone in China had cloned a clients site and put it on a different TLD - we got it taken down before the site could be used as part of a phishing/malware/credential theft attack.
Why did you choose to build in Oxfordshire?
I grew up and studied in Oxford, we moved back in the pandemic to have a family. Oxford has a deep pool of talented people that I get to meet and collaborate with.
What big problem are you trying to solve?
Criminals register fake versions of legitimate business domains every day to phish customers, steal credentials and intercept payments, and AI tools have made this dramatically easier. The tools to fight back have historically cost £50K+ a year, leaving most businesses completely unprotected. We're changing that.
How can you support the Oxfordshire ecosystem?
We can share practical expertise on domain-based cyber threats with local startups and scale-ups who often lack dedicated security teams. We'd love introductions to Oxfordshire businesses in our target markets and connections to MSPs and IT consultancies who could become channel partners.
