Through this partnership, ZeroFox’s disruption and malicious content takedown capabilities will be available within the Mandiant Advantage platform. Subscribers to the Mandiant Advantage Digital Threat Monitoring service can review security incidents on the Mandiant Advantage dashboard and immediately initiate action by the ZeroFox global disruption team to tackle domain and social media-based attacks.
