Next-Gen Takedowns
The undisputed leader in removing threats quickly and at scale from social media, mobile app stores, marketplaces, and risky domains – with automated takedown submissions and in-house takedown experts.
What are takedowns?
Takedowns are the formal process of removing sites, profiles, and content that violate a network provider’s terms of service. Takedowns are often considered a security organization’s most effective weapon against fraud and scams, spoofing and impersonations, and other forms of brand and IP abuse. ZeroFox combines efficient platform automation with the expertise of in-house takedown analysts to process, pursue, and remove malicious, violating, and infringing content, such as malicious domains, fake social media profiles, fraudulent marketplace listings, and rogue mobile apps.
Why takedowns matter
As phishing, impersonations, and social engineering continue to target businesses of all sizes, security teams must be able to rapidly take down content that harms their brands and executives, while having complete visibility throughout the entire takedown process. Offering automated request processing and complete visibility and transparency every step of the way, ZeroFox provides the comprehensiveness, speed, and scale to fight back against malicious content of all types — which is why Forrester named ZeroFox best-in-class for takedowns.

Frequently asked questions
A takedown is the process of removing sites, files and content that violates a host or network’s terms of service (TOS). This is typically achieved when a complainant reports the violation with evidence to the host or network (such as a social media provider or domain registrar) and formally requests its removal or suspension. Every takedown request must adhere to specific guidelines and processes that are unique to the network provider’s own policies. Once a takedown request has been reviewed and accepted by the network provider, the violating content is removed from the internet.
