ZeroFox Partners with Google Cloud to Disrupt Phishing Attacks and Malicious URLs

Delivering on its mission to make the digital world a safer place, ZeroFox, a leading external cybersecurity provider is partnering with Google Cloud to disrupt phishing campaigns by quickly warning users of malicious URLs and fake websites. ZeroFox is utilizing the Google Cloud Web Risk Submission API, a service that verifies unsafe URLs and shows warnings across 5 billion devices using browser, social media, and other technology integrations.

According to APWG, there has been an almost 75% increase in unique phishing websites detected in the last year. As the recognized leader in digital risk protection and domain takedowns serving over 2,000 global enterprises and brands, ZeroFox leverages deep expertise and advanced AI to rapidly uncover and take down malicious domains used in phishing attacks. With this new integration, ZeroFox automatically detects phishing domains for customers and submits verified, malicious URLs through Google Cloud’s Web Risk Submission API, disrupting attacks and warning users of malicious content on billions of devices using browser warnings. ZeroFox finds what others miss by leveraging global intelligence collection and analysis across a broad set of data sources, delivering continuous domain monitoring to accurately detect instances of phishing and fraud. Combined with the scope and scale of Web Risk, which warns users of malicious domains across five billion devices, users will have unmatched protection against a wide range of digital threats.

“Partnering with an industry leader such as Google Cloud to support the Google Cloud Web Risk Submission API further demonstrates that ZeroFox is an innovative leader in protecting organizations beyond the perimeter,” said James C. Foster, Founder and CEO of ZeroFox. “External cyber threats are only growing more prevalent as the world becomes increasingly digital, creating an increased need for external cybersecurity. This partnership aligns well with our strategy of partnering with a global network of partners to defend against these threats and accelerate the disruption of malicious actors from hours and days to minutes.”

“Securing cloud environments and devices from cyber threats is critical,” said Jenn Buchanan, Product Manager at Google Cloud. “We are happy to partner with ZeroFox to protect against malicious digital activity and make the internet a safer place.”

ZeroFox will be onsite at RSAC, visit Booth #1527 to learn more about this partnership and our unified external cybersecurity platform. This partnership with ZeroFox and Google Cloud’s Web Risk Submission API service is operational as of January 2023.

Menlo Security and Carahsoft Partner to Provide Leading Cloud Security Solutions to Public Sector Markets

Yahoo Finance | July 12, 2023

Menlo Security, a leader in cloud security, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced its partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Menlo Security’s Public Sector distributor, making its products available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and GSA Schedule, NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2), National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) and OMNIA Partners contracts. “We selected Carahsoft as our partner because of their extensive experience in the Federal Government and Public Sector markets,” said Darrin Curtis, Vice President, Public Sector, Menlo Security. “Providing the products that prevent attacks before they can happen is Menlo’s priority. By working with Carahsoft and its reseller partners, we can help ensure our Federal, State, and Local Governments and agencies are secure from attack.” Earlier this year, Menlo Security received Authorization to Operate (ATO) at the moderate level under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). Instead of a detect and response approach, Menlo’s FedRAMP-authorized, Isolation Platform, powered by a patented Isolation Core™ stops threats before they can happen. This means safe browsing of all content from anywhere, all the time. According to DISA’s Requirement and Analysis office, Cloud-Based Internet Isolation (CBII) will improve cybersecurity and avoid $300 million in future spending across the Defense Department. Menlo Security’s isolation-powered platform securely connects users to websites and applications from anywhere, while scaling elastically to meet user demand without sacrificing the user experience. Today, Menlo Security cloud security solutions are deployed by more than 100 Government agencies, including the United States Department of Defense (DoD), mission partners, international Governments, State and Local Governments, and educational institutions across the United States. Menlo Security products are designed with a Zero Trust focus. The company’s Cloud Security platform eliminates malware threats, including ransomware. In addition to these threats, Menlo Security has identified a surge in cyberthreats termed Highly Evasive Adaptive Threats (HEAT) that bypass traditional security defenses. HEAT attacks are a very common class of cyber threats targeting the web browser as a highly vulnerable web attack vector used for 75% of the working day. HEAT attacks employ techniques to evade detection by multiple layers in the current security stack including firewalls, Secure Web Gateways, sandboxing, URL Reputation and phishing detection. “We are pleased to add Menlo Security’s products to our solutions portfolio and offer our customers a modernized, cloud-based approach to cybersecurity,” said Troy Meraw, who leads the Menlo Security Team at Carahsoft. “Together with Menlo Security and our reseller partners, we are committed to helping the Public Sector stay ahead of evolving threats in today’s digital landscape.” Menlo Security’s cloud-based cybersecurity offerings are now available through Carahsoft’s GSA Schedule No. 47QSWA18D008F, SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B, ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042, NCPA Contract NCPA01-86, and OMNIA Partners Contract #R191902. The dedicated Cybersecurity team at Carahsoft specializes in providing Federal, State and Local Government agencies and Education and Healthcare organizations with security solutions to safeguard their cyber ecosystem. About Menlo Security Menlo Security protects organizations from cyberattacks by eliminating the threat of malware from the web, documents, and email. Menlo Security’s patented Isolation-powered cloud security platform scales to provide comprehensive protection across enterprises of any size, without requiring endpoint software or impacting the end user-experience. Menlo Security is trusted by major global businesses, including Fortune 500 companies, eight of the ten largest global financial services institutions, and large governmental institutions. The company is backed by Vista Equity Partners, Neuberger Berman, General Catalyst, American Express Ventures, Ericsson Ventures, HSBC, and JP Morgan Chase.
