"ZeroFOX fuses superior social data coverage with fast-paced analytics," writes author Nick Hayes in the report. "ZeroFOX has innovated rapidly since its inception in 2013, offering a solution for customers to analyze and discover cyber and brand risks, predominantly via social media channels...S&R [security and risk] pros looking to improve the way they monitor and detect a plethora of cyber and brand risks should certainly consider ZeroFOX," the report states.

Given the countless and continually expandng social and digital channels that attackers are leveraging, organizations are far more exposed to risk than even many veteran security and risk professionals realize. Whether it's a serious data leak, account compromise, brand impersonation, or targeted attack (phishing, social engineering, ransomware), rapid detection and remediation is the best hope to mitigate these risks before they turn into full-blown crises.



ZeroFOX, with a laser focus on social media security, provides risk management and security controls where it's needed most in today and tomorrow's digital world: social. The ZeroFOX team has pioneered a cloud-based platform to protect the modern organization from social media security threats and business risks. The ZeroFOX Platform continuously monitors across all social media channels including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter (News - Alert), Instagram, Tumblr, Reddit and more - for security risks and business threats targeting employees, customers and organizations. Using intelligent data collection with an automated scriptable analysis engine, the ZeroFOX Platform automatically identifies and remediates fraudulent & impersonated accounts, phishing attacks, financial fraud, customer scams, exposed PII and more. The ZeroFOX Platform Spring 2016 release was identified as a leader in the space and has continued to advance through the Summer and now Fall releases since Forrester's evaluation - including expanded Open API, enhanced FoxScript functionality and new machine learning capabilities.

"Social media is the future of business and personal digital communication. It forms the bedrock of successful revenue growth and customer retention strategies, yet security leaders today find themselves in an incredibly difficult position trying to balance the risks versus the rewards," says James C. Foster, CEO at ZeroFOX. "We commend Forrester for acknowledging the need for a DRM Wave that security leaders can turn to for thorough guidance on managing digital risk, and we are thrilled to be named a Leader and Top-Ranked for Strategy in the report. Our company's agile nature coupled with market-leading strategic vision, sets us up to best serve our customers over the long term, helping them attain visibility, governance and security against the massive digital risk vector of social media."
