About
ZeroFox is a cybersecurity company founded in 2013 by James Foster and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. The company specializes in external threat intelligence and digital risk protection — monitoring the surface web, deep web, dark web, and social media platforms to detect threats against organizations including phishing attacks, brand impersonation, credential theft, executive exposure, data leaks, and fraud. Unlike traditional cybersecurity tools that focus on internal network perimeter defense, ZeroFox's platform operates entirely outside the enterprise perimeter to identify and remediate threats in the environments where attackers operate.
