Football Club Works With ZeroFox to Automate Social Media Protection

Tackling Social Media Threats So This Football Club Can Keep a Clean Sheet

Business Overview

This football club, headquartered in Europe, has held international stature for over 100 years. One of the most prominent and influential clubs globally, they are based out of a large and historic stadium. With both team and player prominence, this club requires comprehensive social media threat protection. And they need a way to automate social media protection.

The Need for an Automated Social Media Protection

Being a globally-recognized organization, this football club often faced the challenge of managing and mitigating threats for top executives and key players on social media. The security team was encumbered with manual search and remediation for new impersonated accounts. Plus, counterfeit tickets being sold online created to deceive their loyal fans. 

The security team contacted ZeroFox to automate their social media protection. They needed a solution for the time consuming processes underway with the goal of ensuring a safe, online environment for their social media followers. The club sought a detection and takedown platform for emerging impersonated accounts that replicated key executives and top players. Plus, they needed a solution to identify counterfeit goods for sale. The club’s security team looked to ZeroFox to perform automated remediation efforts on threats emerging on their social media pages.

ZeroFox Platform and Analysts Create Major Impact

After several years of using the ZeroFox platform, the club finds the platform’s detection of threats and takedowns to be critical tools in their security tool belt. The security team is no longer burdened by the arduous task of manually searching for and remediating impersonations, counterfeit goods, and negative sentiments. The digital strategist shares, “The tool is very hands off, but we’re getting major results with the automation ZeroFox provides.” 

Since the establishment of this partnership, ZeroFox has processed 8,445 takedowns for the football club, which automates social media protection. Previously, remediation heavily impacted the security team. But now, ZeroFox analysts use tried-and-true processes to quickly take down threats on their behalf. This frees the team to focus on other security priorities without concern regarding malicious attacks on their organization going viral on social media.
