Netcraft vs Memcyco
Netcraft
Netcraft is a UK company that detects and takes down phishing sites, scams and brand impersonation, and says it accounts for a third of the world's phishing takedowns. Its brand protection service covers more than 100 threat types across websites, ads, social media, apps and the deep and dark web, combining automated detection with analyst review. Alongside takedown it gets impersonating sites blocked in the major browsers within minutes, which it calls fraudcasting, and it states a median takedown time of 33 minutes for phishing attacks. Netcraft has run its web server survey since 1995 and phishing takedowns since 2006, and has offices in Bath, London, Manchester and Melbourne. In July 2023 it took an investment of about $100 million led by Spectrum Equity.

Memcyco
Memcyco protects a brand's customers while an impersonation attack is live, rather than relying on takedown alone. It detects impersonating domains as they go live, warns visitors in real time when they reach a fraudulent site, identifies the individual customers affected and protects their credentials and card data. It also targets account takeover methods including credential stuffing, man-in-the-middle attacks and remote desktop takeover. Deployment is agentless. Memcyco raised a $37 million Series A in 2026, bringing its total funding to $47 million.
