Case Study: Anglo-Eastern reduces false positives and prevents typosquatting attacks with UpGuard

How Anglo-Eastern reduced false positives, prevented typosquatting attacks, and shifted to a proactive cybersecurity strategy

Anglo-Eastern, a maritime company managing 750 ships, 2,500+ employees, and 30 locations, needed a better way to stay audit-ready for frequent unannounced customer reviews while protecting both shore-based and vessel environments. Before adopting UpGuard, its cybersecurity approach was largely ad hoc, with limited visibility into external risk, no standard framework, and growing concern over compliance and emerging threats.

UpGuard provided continuous external attack surface monitoring, typo-squatting detection, breach alerts, and API integrations that fed automated daily security reports into Microsoft Teams. With UpGuard, Anglo-Eastern reduced false positives, identified and removed two fraudulent typosquatting domains, improved real-time risk visibility, and strengthened client trust; the company also used UpGuard ratings and benchmarking in customer presentations to demonstrate its security posture.
