Government Cybersecurity Solutions That Remove Threats Outside the Agency Perimeter

ZeroFox discovers, validates, and disrupts the spoofed .gov sites, impersonated officials, doxxing campaigns, and leaked credentials aimed at federal missions, federal personnel, and the public they serve.

Why Government Agencies Are a Preferred Target

A federal seal turns a scam into an instruction. Attackers register lookalike .gov domains, clone benefits and grant portals, and stand up payment pages built to capture Social Security numbers, then push traffic to them with text messages, robocalls, and phishing mail that appear to come from the agency itself. A public advisory can tell people a site is fake. It cannot pull the site, the domain, or the next twenty registered behind it. None of that infrastructure sits inside the agency perimeter. It lives on registrars, hosting providers, social platforms, and app stores the agency does not own, which is why attackers choose it. Network controls, endpoint agents, and email gateways never see it.

What ZeroFox Protects for Government Agencies

Government security teams are accountable for exposure they cannot configure. ZeroFox watches the registrars, social platforms, app stores, data broker sites, and closed criminal forums where federal impersonation and targeting start, confirms what is real, and takes it down.

Typosquats of your .gov, cloned permit and benefits pages, payment portals built to capture Social Security numbers, and the redirect chains behind them. Detection runs against certificate transparency logs and newly registered domain activity, often before the page goes live, and ZeroFox mitigates live phishing URLs in about 10 minutes.

Fake agency profiles, unauthorized third-party stores, rogue mobile apps published under your name, and paid ads bidding up traffic to outrank the real agency page. ZeroFox finds and removes them across 180+ platforms and the major app stores.

Remove impersonation accounts and synthetic images attributed to senior leaders, shut down doxxing campaigns, and pull personally identifiable information and home addresses from data broker and people-search sites on a continuous re-check. Coverage is assigned per person and reassignable as exposure changes, with the option to extend to immediate family.

ZeroFox monitors 21,000 dark web forums daily, plus paste sites, botnet logs, and breach corpora, for credentials and session tokens tied to federal email domains and remote access portals. Findings arrive with source and recency context, so your team can force a reset on the accounts that matter.

Analyst-vetted geospatial alerts in under two minutes, tied to federal buildings, ports of entry, field offices, public events, and official travel routes. Alerts reach security staff through interactive mapping and mobile push, drawn from 46,000+ locations across 150+ countries.
Continuous discovery of everything the public can reach: domains, subdomains, certificates, exposed application programming interfaces, cloud storage, shadow IT, and vendor assets. That includes the microsite from three administrations ago that still resolves and still runs the content management system it launched on.

How It Works

Continuous monitoring across 6B+ tracked domains, 180+ platforms, and 12B+ correlated signals: certificate transparency logs, WHOIS and newly registered domain activity, app stores, social platforms, paste sites, and closed forums.
AI detection scores each candidate against your real properties using visual similarity, logo recognition, OCR, and NLP. Analysts confirm before anything reaches a government inbox.
Validated findings route through the Global Disruption Network of 80+ ISP, hosting, registrar, CDN, and telco partners at a 95% takedown acceptance rate. UDRP filings where removal alone is not enough. Indicators are handed back for internal blocking through 700+ integrations.

Why Government Teams Choose ZeroFox

Brand, domain, executive, and physical protection run natively in one platform, on the same intelligence graph and the same case file.
DarkOps specialists hold authenticated access to invite-only marketplaces and criminal forums that automated collection cannot reach. They engage sellers directly to validate leaks, extortion claims, and targeting activity against your agency before any of it reaches the press.
80+ disruption partners, a 95% takedown acceptance rate, and more than a million successful takedowns a year.
Every finding, action, and outcome carries a timestamp and an owner. When an inspector general, an appropriations committee, or a reporter asks what the agency did and when, the record already exists.
The same actor who posts a threat on social media registers the spoofed domain and turns up near a field office. ZeroFox correlates that activity into a single investigation rather than three disconnected alerts.
A 24/7 global security operations center and OnWatch analysts cover the channels a lean federal team cannot watch alone. OnWatch Expert assigns a named analyst who works inside your security operations.

Frequently asked questions

Government cybersecurity covers the defense of agency networks, personnel, and the public those agencies serve. Most tooling addresses the internal side: networks, endpoints, identity, email. The harder problem sits outside the perimeter, on infrastructure the agency does not control — spoofed websites, fake official accounts, employee credentials traded on criminal forums, and personal data sold by brokers. Defending that surface requires continuous visibility into the public and criminal internet plus the ability to remove what you find.
Government carries authority that makes impersonation profitable. When a payment portal is cloned, the victim is usually a member of the public and the damage to trust lands on the agency. Agencies are also accountable in ways private organizations are not, so being able to show what was found, what was removed, and when it happened matters as much as the removal itself.
ZeroFox finds impersonating infrastructure as it is built, then removes it. Automated detection flags typosquatted domains, cloned pages, and rogue mobile apps at publish, while DarkOps specialists monitor invite-only forums for credentials and targeting activity tied to the agency and its leadership. Confirmed threats route through the Global Disruption Network of more than 80 partners spanning ISPs, registrars, hosting companies, telcos, and social platforms, with a 95% takedown acceptance rate and most phishing URLs mitigated in about 10 minutes.
Coverage is assigned per person rather than per organization, and is reassignable as exposure changes. It combines impersonation and deepfake detection across social platforms, continuous PII and home-address removal from data broker and people-search sites, dark web monitoring for credentials and financial records, and geospatial alerting that ties online threat activity to residences, facilities, and travel. At the highest tier, coverage extends to immediate family.
Yes. Programs scope by root domain and by named individual, so a single set of public-facing properties can be protected first and components or jurisdictions added later without redeploying. Most agencies start with the citizen-facing domains that draw the most fraud, prove removal works, then widen.
For external threats, look past vendors that only send alerts. The strongest platforms detect spoofed domains and fake accounts at registration, reach the closed forums where stolen credentials change hands, and take threats off the internet rather than adding them to a report. Ask about takedown acceptance rates, mitigation speed, whether brand, domain, executive, and physical protection are core capabilities or add-ons, and whether the vendor can produce an auditable record of every action taken. Most government security tools are built to defend the network. Fewer are built to remove threats from the internet outside it.
