What are the biggest threats to brand protection in the digital era?

The digital landscape has made it easier for businesses to expand, but it has also increased threats to brand protection. Common challenges include counterfeit product sales on e-commerce platforms, phishing websites impersonating brands, fake social media accounts, and the spread of misinformation. Additionally, negative online reviews, defamatory content, and competitor sabotage can severely damage a company’s online reputation. Cybersecurity risks, such as data breaches, also contribute to brand vulnerability. Identifying and addressing these threats early is crucial to maintaining control over how a brand is perceived and trusted by its audience.
