What are takedowns?

Takedowns are the formal process of removing sites, profiles and content that violate a network provider’s terms of service. Takedowns are often considered a security organization’s most effective weapon against external attacks. ZeroFox combines efficient platform automation with the expertise of disruption analysts to process, pursue, and remove malicious, violating, and infringing content such as social media impersonations, phishing domains, rogue mobile app store listings, PII on data broker websites, and more.

Why takedowns matter
