Netcraft Combines Forces with GASA and the GSE in the Fight Against Cybercrime
SALT LAKE CITY and LONDON, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Netcraft, the global leader in digital risk protection and brand protection, announced two strategic alliances in the fight against online scams and fraud. First, Netcraft is furthering its partnership with the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) by becoming a Foundation member. In addition, Netcraft is entering into a data-sharing agreement with the Global Signal Exchange (GSE). The GSE, originated by GASA, Google, and the DNS Research Federation, was created to bring together data from the world's most trusted intelligence providers to combat scams across the globe.
Connecting Data, Connecting Missions
As a Foundation member of GASA, Netcraft joins organizations such as Amazon, Capital One, Feedzai, Google, Mastercard, Match Group, Meta, and ScamAdviser.
"At Netcraft, we are committed to building alignment with governments, law enforcement, and like-minded businesses," said Ryan Woodley, CEO at Netcraft. "Relationships with clients, partners, and the internet industry have always been at the core of our approach to eliminating phishing, fraud, and scams from the internet. This relationship with GASA and its Foundation members reinforces our commitment and will enhance our global impact and reach."
This commitment extends even further with Netcraft's participation in the Global Signal Exchange. As the global threat of scams continues to grow in complexity and scale, owners of threat data must find opportunities, like the GSE, to share intelligence that will increase the global capacity to meet the threats we face head on.
"Netcraft has built and curated one of the most trusted and comprehensive cybercrime disruption platforms in the world," shared Jorij Abraham, Head of GASA and co-founder of the GSE. "We're confident that working with Netcraft will be a tipping point for the Global Signal Exchange."
Threat Detection
Netcraft systems actively monitor more than 100 threat types, identifying threats early in the attack lifecycle by exploiting a large variety of novel detection and attack classification techniques, including AI and machine learning. Providing data to the GSE will serve as an accelerant to get information into the hands of those who can help disrupt criminal behavior.
Threat Disruption
Once threats are identified and classified by Netcraft, automated processes collect evidence in most cases and begin sharing that data with thousands of providers, including hosting companies, domain registrars, registries, and more. Operating as one of the largest and most trusted reporters of cybercrime today, Netcraft looks forward to exploring opportunities to further disrupt criminal behavior using the data sharing enabled by the GSE.
The Netcraft Difference
Netcraft sets the standard on threat disruption with more than 225 million threats blocked to date while performing takedowns against more than a third of the world's phishing sites. This approach to brand protection and actionable intelligence has garnered the respect and partnership of the world's largest brands and most forward-thinking governments.
