Federal technology has paralleled the commercial world in its expansion to millions of endpoints. On one hand, this means better information from something like an intrusion sensor. On the other hand, it means the attack surface has just expanded exponentially.

It has come to a point where there has been a normalization of breaches. Unfortunately, this does not mean one can neglect protecting your agency from external threats.

ZeroFox specializes in understanding external threat security. They have been around since 2013 and “Zero” in on protecting apps, data, people, domains, and API’s.

During the interview, AJ Nash goes into considerable detail when he differentiates between the surface web, the deep web, and the dark web.

He does not realize it, but he is a differentiator as well.   ZeroFox relies on leaders like AJ Nash who have considerable experience in the intelligence community and understand the levels of security that are necessary to protect sensitive federal systems.

But they do not just stop at identification. AJ Nash continues his comments on something called “automated remediation. “ZeroFox can help your agency move to the next level and integrate with systems that can snap into action when a threat is detected.

COVID, fast Internet connections, and small sensors have made the Internet infinitely more dangerous than it was even a few years ago. Understanding external threats can prevent takeovers and attacks.
