General information
- Short Summary
- A Portuguese cybersecurity company offers a patented SaaS B2B2C platform designed to address website impersonation by creating an organization-specific trust layer on top of the existing web framework. The company seeks commercial agreements with organisations interested in stronger online trust mechanisms, as well as reseller partnerships with IT system integrators, domain registrars, law firms and brand-protection providers.
- Full Description
-
A company from Portugal, active in the cybersecurity domain, has developed a patented Software-as-a-Service solution that addresses one of the most persistent structural weaknesses of the web: the ease with which cybercriminals impersonate legitimate websites. Instead of relying on user education or on traditional indicators such as padlocks, certificates or domain names, the company introduces a new design-driven approach that adds a human-centric trust layer on top of the existing web infrastructure.
The company has developed a B2B2C platform that operates outside the programmable scope of a webpage and prevents impersonation by enabling organisations to exclusively claim and authenticate their digital properties under their trademarked identities. This creates a closed and secure ecosystem in which end-users can seamlessly verify the legitimacy of the websites they visit, without requiring technical knowledge or active decision-making.
The solution establishes a market-driven allow list of domains federated to each organisation and individually meaningful to each user according to their interests. This model draws on the inherent distinctiveness of logos and trademarks, recognising their essential role in how individuals identify the entities they trust. By harmonising the agnostic nature of the current web framework (HTTPS, DNS, HTML) through a new, recognisable trust layer, the platform enables a more intuitive, human-centric digital experience. In addition, the system integrates a frictionless phishing-report mechanism that, combined with the aggregate digital footprint of organisations using the platform, provides a detection and mitigation capability significantly stronger than existing mechanisms. It facilitates a secure and self-reconciling feedback loop between end-users, organisations, law enforcement bodies, DNS registries and DNS resolvers, contributing to improved cyber hygiene and a more reliable digital environment.
A distinctive feature of the solution is its embedded network and platform effects, which enable protection to extend even to individuals who do not have the company’s browser extension installed, including mobile users. At scale, the technology aims to bootstrap a fundamentally new model of trust for the web by enhancing legitimacy, strengthening accountability mechanisms and reducing opportunities for malicious impersonation.
The company is seeking:
- Business partners requiring enhanced protection of their online identity and brand legitimacy
- Reseller / co-seller partners such as IT system integrators, domain registrars, law firms and brand-protection service providers for commercial cooperation agreements - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company offers a patented and novel approach that redesigns inherent flaws in the current web framework by introducing a positive, organization-federated and user-personalised trust model. The solution enables end-users to verify that the website they are visiting has been legitimately signed by the organisation that owns that digital property. This self-sovereign approach allows organisations to claim their digital footprint and enables a transparent and reliable allow list of verified domains.
In contrast with existing web protocols — whose neutrality allows cybercriminals to exploit HTTPS, DNS and email authentication protocols in the same way as legitimate actors — the proposed model provides fair structural advantages to businesses and individuals. It shifts cybersecurity from an education-dependent approach to a design-driven, human-centric model.
Because the system maintains a continuously updated allow list for each participating organisation, it automatically detects incorrect or malicious domains. The embedded live self-reconciling mechanism cross-checks reported websites against these allow lists, enabling precise identification of impersonating domains and facilitating rapid takedowns without false positives or negatives. The solution also complements and retrofits with existing market actors—including brand-protection services, DNS resolvers and threat-intelligence providers — while generating network effects that significantly enhance performance and return on investment. - Stage of Development
