Spoofed Agency Sites and Payment Portals

Detect typosquats, cloned agency pages, and fake payment portals at registration, and mitigate live phishing URLs in about 10 minutes.

Official and Employee Impersonation

Find and remove fake profiles impersonating elected officials, agency leadership, and staff, including AI-generated likenesses used in scams.

Doxxing and PII Removal

Scrub home addresses, phone numbers, and family details from data broker sites, then keep re-checking, because brokers republish what they remove.

Credential and Data Exposure

Monitor closed criminal forums and stealer logs for agency credentials, session tokens, and leaked records before adversaries put them to use.

Physical Security Intelligence

Deliver analyst-validated alerts for threats near facilities, public events, and official travel routes, with geospatial and geopolitical context.

Deepfakes and Coordinated Narratives

Detect synthetic images of officials, plus coordinated campaigns that impersonate agency communications to mislead the public.

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.

Why ZeroFox Leads in Public Sector Cybersecurity

External Threats Are the Core Product

Brand, domain, executive, and physical protection are built here in one platform, not bolted onto an endpoint agent.

Human Operatives Inside Closed Forums

DarkOps specialists hold authenticated access to invite-only criminal forums that automated crawlers never reach.

The Largest Disruption Network in the Category

More than 80 Global Disruption Network partners remove threats at a 95%+ acceptance rate.

A Defensible Record

Every finding, action, and outcome is timestamped and tracked, which matters when the legislature or the press asks what was done.

Coverage That Follows the Threat

One threat moves from a social post to a spoofed domain to a physical risk. ZeroFox tracks all three as a single case.

Analysts as an Extension of Your Team

A 24/7 security operations center and OnWatch analysts cover the channels your team cannot watch alone.

External Cybersecurity is your first line of defense

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.
