PLATFORM

At a glance

Styx Intelligence

One platform connects threats between your brand, executive exposure, dark web activity, third-party vendor risk, and external attack surface, so your team isn't stitching together point solutions. Takedown workflows and remediation tracking are built in, not bolted on. Designed for lean security teams looking for actionable insight within days of onboarding, and dedicated analyst support included, not billed as a premium add-on.

BrandShield

AI and human-led brand protection built for IP and counterfeit enforcement. BrandShield combines AI-powered detection with certified specialists who have IP and legal backgrounds, focused on counterfeit sellers, trademark abuse, and brand impersonation across marketplaces, social media, and the web.

Find your fit

Which platform is right for you

Choose Styx if you…

  • Want to ensure your entire external footprint is secure including brand, executive, third-party vendor risk, dark web, and attack surface coverage, not just brand abuse
  • Are a lean team that needs one platform to cover multiple risk categories, not a specialist tool for one
  • Want usage-based pricing you can understand before a sales conversation
  • Want a dedicated analyst acting as your partner, included for every client

Choose BrandShield if you…

  • Your primary external risk is brand abuse: counterfeit sellers, marketplace fraud, trademark infringement, or impersonation
  • You're comfortable with a custom-quoted contract regardless of which of their four product lines fits your need
  • You need IP and legal enforcement expertise more than broader digital risk coverage
  • You have an existing stack covering dark web, vendor risk, and attack surface monitoring
