BrandShield Launches Free Cyber-Risk Assessment Platform for CISOs to Carry Out Audits on their Brands' Online Vulnerabilities

First of its kind Threat Protection Test measures a company's relative strength against online cyber threats in seconds

BrandShield Systems plc (LSE: BRSD), an online threat hunting company specialising in monitoring, detecting and removing online threats, today unveiled its External Threat Protection Test , the first free platform of its kind to help companies uncover cyber vulnerabilities. Combining decades of cybersecurity expertise along with proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, the risk assessment platform is designed to help Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and any online company understand their risk exposure in seconds.

Companies can access this tool at:  https://www.brandshield.com/external-threat-vulnerability-test/

Using the External Threat Protection Test, any cybersecurity professional can determine how well its company is protecting itself from online threats such as website and social media phishing attacks, cybersquatting and typosquatting, executive impersonation and look-a-like pages. Additionally, at no extra cost, companies can receive a more detailed report from BrandShield with recommendations on how to improve their online cyber protection measures.

Working alongside some of the world's largest brands, including Levi's, Bristol Myers Squibb and the Pharmaceutical Security Institute, BrandShield, using its proprietary formula, quantitatively ranks companies based on external cyber-hygiene practices.

Anyone interested in receiving a free external threat protection score may visit BrandShield's External Threat Protection Test and complete the following steps:

1.  Complete the eleven-step survey and share the company name.

2.  Receive scores to evaluate how the company's current threat protection program is working, segmented across websites and social media.

3.  Provide an email address and BrandShield will deliver a more comprehensive report with specific recommendations.

Yoav Keren, CEO of BrandShield Systems plc, said :

"Even though damages from cyber threats including external threats such as phishing attacks, scams and online fraud are estimated to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, many CISOs lack sufficient resources and insights to deal with the rising threats to their organizations.  Our free service will help close their cyber defense gaps and help them take the necessary steps needed to minimize fraud exposure and protect companies and employees from malicious criminals trying to cause harm. The Threat Protection Test tool has the potential to act as a significant multiplier to our marketing and sales team efforts as we continue to drive top line growth in the coming period."
