Why takedowns matter
Detection alone changes nothing. Takedowns keep your brand safe.
The threat landscape
Every detected threat stays live and does damage until someone acts on it. These threats aren't isolated incidents; they span your domains, your social presence, app stores, and job boards simultaneously.
Each active threat keeps putting your organization at risk for as long as it's up.
The existing tools gap
Many tools stop at the alert. Acting on it means opening a case within the platform yourself, gathering evidence and waiting. While this is happening, the threat is still actively putting your organization at risk.
Every Styx client gets access to a dedicated analyst that helps you prioritize and takedown active threats, keeping your organization secure.
How a Styx takedown works
Step 1
Verify and prioritize the threat.
When Styx detects a phishing site, lookalike domain, fake account, or rogue app, Styx assesses whether it potentially targets your brand and, if it does, classifies it as a high-risk threat. You will be notified so your team can review the finding and confirm whether it represents a potential external threat targeting your organization.
Step 2
Gather evidence and initiate takedown requests.
Styx collects relevant technical evidence, including URLs, redirect chains, screenshots, timestamps, WHOIS and DNS records, and hosting details. Once you have signed the Letter of Authorization (LOA), Styx can submit takedown requests for all eligible threats. In cases where the available evidence is limited or must be provided by you, such as a phishing email, the Styx team will request additional supporting evidence to strengthen the case and improve the likelihood of a successful takedown.
Step 3
File and escalate with the right provider.
Styx sends each request through official abuse channels to whoever controls the content: the registrar, host or DNS provider for websites, trust and safety teams for social platforms, and the store operator for apps and marketplaces. High-priority phishing and fraud cases take an expedited path, and every case’s status stays visible in the platform.
Step 4
Confirm removal and watch for reposts.
Once the content is down, Styx keeps monitoring for it. Attackers often reappear on a new domain or account, and any reappearance is picked up and actioned again.
THE RESULT
Less risk, less manual work.
Styx removes the manual chase of filing, escalating, and following up on takedowns, so detected threats actually come down.
