How Is Adversary Disruption Different From “Takedowns”?

Adversary Disruption is ZeroFox’s unique solution for remediation of external threats. Not only does it provide a fully automated and managed solution for taking down malicious accounts, domains, and posts, with controls for inline content removal in corporate accounts, but it also takes further steps to proactively block emerging threats, file UDRP disputes, and remove PII from data broker sites.. This multi-pronged approach to remediation is what sets ZeroFox’s Adversary Disruption apart from other solutions that rely strictly on takedowns.

What Malicious Content Does ZeroFox Help To Remove?

ZeroFox identifies threats, automates processing of takedown submission requests, and works on your behalf with partner networks to remove the following: Malicious and/or impersonating domains/subdomains Fraudulent and/or impersonating social media accounts Phishing websites, emails, and posts Malicious and/or unauthorized posts and comments Fraud and scam pages Rogue mobile apps Instances of piracy, counterfeiting, or brand abuse Content that violates network Terms of Service (ToS) Exposed Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of executives and VIPs Additionally, ZeroFox provides detection and early warning into account takeovers (ATOs), suspected instances of parked domains/domain squatting, attack chatter, threatening deep/dark web activities, and data leaks/breaches so you can take immediate and necessary actions to mitigate risk.

What Is The Zerofox Global Disruption Network?

The Global Disruption Network (GDN) is the result of ZeroFox’s collective efforts to help you fight back against modern adversaries. The GDN comprises a large community of participating ZeroFox customers and hundreds of the world’s leading third-party network providers to share and distribute indicators of attack (IoAs) for every identified and validated threat. This collective distribution of indicators enables proactive blocking actions to malicious content/infrastructure and helps to close threat exposure gaps for all ZeroFox customers.

What Third-Party Provider Types Are Included In The Global Disruption Network?

ZeroFox partners with 50+ of the world’s leading and established providers and groups such as: DNS Registrars Hosts & ISPs Content DeliveryNetworks (CDNs) Cloud Providers Telcos Link Shorteners Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) FW/Email/EPP Block List Endpoint Security Working Groups For more details on ZeroFox’s disruption partners, see the ZeroFox App Library page.

What Threat Indicator Data Is Distributed Via The Global Disruption Network Endpoint?

ZeroFox uses a combination of automated communication streams and a dedicated API endpoint to communicate correlated malicious URLs and indicators to the Global Disruption Network (GDN). Each entry in the GDN endpoint provides: Source (Domain, Social) URL & Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) Type(s) (Phishing, Trademark, Impersonation, Copyright, Abuse, Counterfeit, PII) HTTP Status Code Autonomous System Number (ASN) Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) IPv4 address Host & Registrar
