Case Study: Advance achieves faster takedowns and stronger brand protection with Doppel

Advance cuts takedown time by 75%+ with Doppel

Advance, a holding company and private equity firm with a portfolio of iconic brands, faced a significant escalation in social engineering attacks. These multi-channel campaigns used generative AI to create highly convincing impersonations that bypassed traditional security filters, threatening both employee security and the consumer trust vital to their media brands. To combat this, Advance partnered with the vendor Doppel to move from passive defense to actively disrupting threats at their source.

By implementing Doppel's platform, which included its 360° Threat Graph and automated phishing triage, Advance gained unified visibility and an automated response capability. The solution from Doppel enabled the security team to scale takedowns from roughly 10 per year to over 250, while reducing the average domain takedown time from 30 days to under a week. This 75% faster response time permanently choked off attacker campaigns, transformed the internal security culture, and established cybersecurity as a valued business partner within the organization.
