About Brandefense
Brandefense is a cyber threat intelligence and digital risk protection platform founded in Ankara, Türkiye, by Caner Köroğlu and Hakan Eryavuz, with a US entity in Wilmington, Delaware. It watches the parts of the internet a company does not control, such as underground forums, dark web markets, messaging channels, phishing domains, fake apps and scam ads, and turns what it finds into alerts tied to the customer's own domains, brands, executives and IP ranges.
The product has three modules on top of an intelligence engine called Blackhole: Cyber Threat Intelligence (dark web monitoring, ransomware early warning, threat actor profiles), Digital Risk Protection (phishing monitoring, executive protection, takedowns) and External Attack Surface Management (asset discovery, shadow IT, misconfiguration checks). AI handles collection and correlation, and analysts verify critical findings. There is no free tier or public price list; it is sold as a quote-based subscription after a demo.
It fits banks, retailers and holding companies with a security team that can act on alerts. Smaller firms without a SOC will get less value. Against SOCRadar, the other Turkish name in this space, the pitch is analyst-verified findings and bundled takedowns; Recorded Future and ZeroFox have a larger global footprint.
In December 2023 Brandefense raised a 2.75 million dollar pre-Series A round led by Sabancı Ventures, bringing total funding to 3.4 million dollars. It reports 400+ customer organizations and 7,900+ protected brands. Ask for an exposure check on your domains in the demo.

Our take
Brandefense is a credible pick for Turkish enterprises that want dark web monitoring, phishing takedowns and EASM in one contract with local support. Shortlist it next to SOCRadar, run both against your own domains during the demo and compare the quality of verified findings rather than the alert count.
