Brand impersonation and fake executive profiles are a fraud risk, not just a reputational one

A fake social media account using your brand name can deceive customers, drain ad budgets, and enable financial fraud in minutes. A cloned LinkedIn profile of your CFO can message 200 employees in a week. New impersonations typically surface in CybelAngel monitoring within 24 hours of creation. Manual platform reporting takes 7 to 14 days, which is long enough for a deepfake executive scam or fake CEO LinkedIn profile to do real damage to your brand, your executives and your customers.

“CybelAngel’s combination of good detection capabilities and excellent analysts makes them our trusted partner to identify data leakage, fake accounts on social media and help protect our brand.”

Social media impersonation protection across the platforms attackers actually use

CybelAngel scans accounts, profile photos, logos, display names and page content across Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. We match images and visual identity, not just keywords, which is how attackers slip past traditional brand monitoring. Detections are delivered daily so your exposure window stays short.

What we detect?

Brand impersonation

Fake social media accounts and pages using your company name, logo or visual identity. We catch logo variations, near-miss spellings, and pages repurposing your creative to push scams.

VIP / executive impersonation

Fake CEO LinkedIn profiles, cloned executive photos, altered handles, and deepfake executive scams targeting your leadership team across multiple platforms.

Account & profile abuse

Unauthorized use of your display name across accounts, pages, groups and communities. We surface the ones built to deceive employees, customers or partners, not low-signal noise.

From signal to action, faster

Your security team has enough alerts. CybelAngel sends the ones that count, with the evidence attached. Every incident includes the fake profile URL, screenshots taken at detection, platform metadata, an analyst severity score from 1/4 minor to 4/4 critical, and the reason it was flagged. That is the package your legal and brand protection team needs to file a takedown, no extra investigation on your side.

What you get?

Daily threat visibility

Fake social media accounts typically detected within 24 hours of creation. Severity scored 1/4 minor to 4/4 critical. Delivered daily to your team.

Executive-ready reports

Screenshots, logos and profile metadata, formatted so your CISO, legal counsel or comms lead can act on it without a briefing.

Actionable alerts, not noise

Every detection reviewed by a CybelAngel analyst. A 4/4 critical means it’s real. A 1/4 minor means it’s worth watching. No alert fatigue.
