Obrela partners with ZeroFOX to enhance brand protection

Partnership will support business continuity by protecting institutions from brand cyber attacks and loss of brand reputation.

 Obrela, a leading provider of security analytics and cyber risk management services to identify, analyze, predict and prevent highly sophisticated security threats, today announced it has entered into a partnership with  ZeroFOX, global leader in external threat intelligence and protection. Through the partnership, organizations can protect all their digital platforms, augmenting Obrela’s managed detection and response (MDR) services with ZeroFOX’s situational awareness outside the perimeter.

According to recent research, defamatory content online impacts employee morale, increases employee turnover and causes a decline in sales. This partnership with ZeroFOX provides Obrela’s customers with intelligence, early notice and protection against external threats to their brands, people, assets, and data across the public attack surface. Leveraging Obrela’s 24/7 data analytics technology & MDR team along with ZeroFOX’s innovative service to identify, analyse, predict and disrupt highly sophisticated external security threats in real time, this combined service protects both physical organizational infrastructure as well as assets beyond the perimeter. This allows organizations to remove potentially defamatory content online and can be used to locate breached privileged credentials online to reduce the threat of credential stuffing and unauthorized access to corporate networks.

“It’s fair to say that the security industry today is saturated with such an array of products, it can leave organisations overwhelmed and ultimately more vulnerable to attacks. Through our partnership with ZeroFOX, we are bolstering our services to give our customers even greater protection across all their internal and external assets, without the need to deploy new technology and upskill staff,” said George MenexisChief Commercial Officer at Obrela Security Industries. “Obrela protects the entire digital universe, across all platforms, regardless of where attacks are coming from or what assets are targeted, alleviating this burden from under-resourced internal security teams.”

In the globally dispersed working world, social media and digital channels have become an integral component of communication and collaboration. However, these platforms create an expanded attack surface with increased levels of risk, causing detrimental impact to brand reputation, customer confidence, regulatory compliance, and employee well-being if not managed properly. It is imperative that organisations protect their business from these threats with long term damage to revenue streams. ZeroFOX’s human- and AI-powered solutions secure organisations against account takeover, fake accounts, spoofed domains and scams targeting customers, employees, and executives. This includes scenarios in which attackers exploit brand logos, messaging and product photos to defraud customers. This partnership will allow Obrela customers to effectively address external threats to revenue, reputation and customer engagement while simultaneously predicting and remediating cybersecurity threats in real time through Obrela’s 24/7 MDR service.

“The surface, deep and dark web, social media, mobile app stores, marketplace, and other public platforms represent unique opportunities for engagement as well as unique risks. As adoption of these platforms has increased, institutions need to ensure their brands, reputation and customers are protected,” said Brian CostelloVice President of Global Partnerships at ZeroFOX. “Our partnership with Obrela Security Industries gives our mutual customers peace of mind knowing that physical and digital business operations will remain secure in the face of cybercriminals, malicious insiders or defamatory threat actors.”
