A New Kind of Crime Scene
At ZeroFox, we believe every investigation begins with intelligence and ends with action. For more than a decade, we’ve tracked the evolution of social engineering across the surface, deep, and dark web. What began as simple email scams has grown into an international economy of deception accelerated by automation and AI.
We built the Detective’s Field Guide for the same reason detectives build case files: to teach pattern recognition. Every phishing link, spoofed account, or fake domain is part of a larger story. A story that our intelligence teams work around the clock to uncover and our global disruption network dismantles.
This guide blends intelligence, research, and behavioral insight to help you spot what the ZeroFox team sees every day.
Peek Inside the Detective’s Field Guide
If your workforce, customers, or executives can be manipulated, your organization can be compromised. Knowing what to look for is the first line of defense.
This guide gives you the detective’s perspective. You will learn how attackers craft the perfect lure, where their infrastructure hides, and how their operations spread globally. Most importantly, you will see how intelligence and disruption turn the tide against them.
The more people who learn to think like detectives, the harder it becomes for social engineers to find an audience.
