Baltimore, MD. — May 14, 2015 — ZeroFox, the leader in Social Media Cyber Security, was awarded the Tech Council of Maryland’s Emerging Firm of the Year at the 27th Annual Industry Awards Celebration dinner in Bethesda, MD. The award honors an innovative Maryland business with strong strategic direction and clear differentiators, disruptive technology, a demonstrated ability to attract resources and financial growth. ZeroFox raised nearly 11 million in a Series A round led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA), just 12 months after the Seed Round, and has grown over 300% in the past year. ZeroFox’s rapid growth and innovative cloud-based security platform have earned them numerous accolades in the security industry, including the prestigious SINET16 award, Golden Bridge Best Risk Management award and the Security Tech Trailblazer award.

ZeroFox has established the social media cyber security market by developing cyber security’s first social media attack detection platform, ZeroFox Enterprise. ZeroFox Enterprise enables organizations to monitor and prevent social media cyber attacks, such as targeted phishing and malware, fraud, account hijacking and sensitive information theft and sale. The SaaS product automates the monitoring of social media, empowering security teams with unprecedented insight into social media, a rapidly growing threat vector unaddressed by traditional security frameworks. ZeroFox’s offerings also include a global social media threat stream, ZeroFox Security Intelligence, and expert services.

“Since ZeroFox’s inception in 2013, we have been fortunate enough to attract, retain and challenge our rapidly growing world-class team,” said James C. Foster, ZeroFox CEO. “Winning the Emerging Firm of the Year is a huge achievement as both a security innovator and a loyal Maryland company. We couldn’t be more thankful for the exciting tech community in this state, and this award validates our efforts to solve cyber security’s newest and most dangerous challenges. The lines of engagement have been pushed into the social media space — ZeroFox’s goal is to protect the world’s social media ecosystem and the people and organizations that rely upon it. As security challenges evolve, we hope Maryland companies continue to push the boundaries of the cyber security industry.”

“The breadth of accomplishments of this year’s award recipients is impressive – from the innovations being developed here in Maryland to the leadership of executives fostering inspired workplace environments,” said Phil Schiff, TCM’s CEO. “We congratulate ZeroFox for winning Emerging Firm of the Year. They represent the type of innovation that underscores the quality and value of the state’s technology community.”
