ZeroFOX is a cyber security company based in Baltimore, Maryland.[1][2] It provides cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) for organizations to detect risks found on social media and digital channels, such as phishing, malware, scams, impersonator accounts, piracy, counterfeit and more.

Criticism

The company faced criticism over its handling of the 2015 protests over the death of Freddie Gray when it singled out the organizers as threats to the community.[3] ZeroFOX specifically labeled nonviolent activists DeRay McKesson and Johnetta Elzie as high physical threats to law enforcement.[4][5]
