LAS VEGAS, Aug. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZeroFox (Nasdaq: ZFOX), an enterprise software-as-a-service (Saas) external cybersecurity provider, today announced its participation at Black Hat USA 2022 cybersecurity conference taking place Aug. 10-11 in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This is ZeroFox’s first public event since its listing on the Nasdaq on August 4. The company will be sharing new threat intelligence research regarding cyber attacks in the financial, manufacturing, retail and healthcare sectors at ZeroFox’s booth #2260. Black Hat conference attendees will receive a full demonstration of the unified ZeroFox External Cybersecurity Platform, which combines the power of AI analytics, digital risk and privacy protection, full-spectrum threat intelligence services, and a robust portfolio of breach, incident and takedown response capabilities to expose and disrupt cyber threats on the internet beyond the corporate perimeter.
“2022 has already been a year of major milestones for ZeroFox, especially as the first cybersecurity company to go public this year,” said James C. Foster, Chairman and CEO of ZeroFox. “There’s no question that threat actors have become more persistent, creative and damaging to enterprises across the board and we’re working closely with our customers and partners to ensure that we’re protecting them beyond their perimeter from the growing number of risks outside of the firewall.”
Today’s hackers, whether state-sponsored or otherwise, are more sophisticated than ever before. Since last year’s Black Hat Conference, ZeroFox has delivered exceptional customer value by thwarting these attackers while realizing significant traction on its 2022 objectives. In Q1 2022 alone, ZeroFox has completed hundreds of thousands of successful takedowns – representing a 300% percent increase year-over-year. This included increases in takedowns for phishing campaigns, fraudulent domains, malicious content, and impersonating social media accounts. This quarter, we have identified more than 5.8M attacks and escalated nearly 272K high or critical incidents to our customers including:
- 125 percent YoY growth in total external attacks
- 521 percent YoY growth in phishing attacks
- 97 percent YoY growth in coordinated dark web attacks
- 65 percent YoY growth in social media security attacks
“The sheer volume of threats out there seems unfathomable, but we’re doing everything possible to stay two steps ahead of adversaries with deep cyber threat intelligence and unwavering execution,” added Foster. “Innovation is the cornerstone of our success as a company and the ZeroFox Platform is second to none when it comes to delivering immediate tangible value – and protection – to our customers across retail, financial services, government and technology.”
It’s not enough, however, to simply alert and respond to threats. Organizations must innovate to stay ahead of adversaries. To that end, over the past six months, ZeroFox has delivered more than 216 new platform features that will be on full display for Black Hat attendees to see in action. Among these features are significant investments to expand visibility outside the corporate perimeter, finding hidden threats to brands, domains, and executives. Some of the key innovations we will be sharing at the booth include:
- Intelligence Search of ZeroFox’s vast threat indicator data lake of over 12 billion data points, with datasets spanning botnets, exploits, vulnerabilities, domains, ransomware, threat actors, and other dark web sources to support investigations.
- Global Intelligence Feeds that provide easy API access to data and context for fraud, identity, vulnerabilities, dark web intelligence, botnets and other sources to integrate into the existing security technology stack.
- Requests for Information automation that enables customers to securely submit and correspond with ZeroFox intelligence experts for support of investigations, assessments, and other intelligence needs.
- Breach Response Capabilities are now part of the ZeroFox solutions portfolio following the recent acquisition of IDX, an industry leader in breach response services, including breach notifications & call center services, identity protection & restoration, incident response, and more.
Since last year’s conference, ZeroFox has expanded protection, intelligence and disruption capabilities. Now with the acquisition of IDX, the company has added robust breach response and privacy protection solutions to their portfolio. Black Hat attendees can stop by the ZeroFox Booth to discuss these solutions and experience the IDX ForgetMe Privacy Service, an online data removal service that scans over 100 data broker websites to find an individual's personal information profile, remove it, and continuously monitor its removal to prevent the information from being sold or shared.
Representatives will be onsite in Booth #2260 to demonstrate these advancements and more. For all media inquiries related to ZeroFox, or to schedule a meeting during Black Hat USA, please email zerofox@skyya.com.
