ZeroFox debuts AI-first HNTR platform, starting with executive protection
Cybersecurity company ZeroFox Inc. today launched HNTR, an artificial intelligence-first platform that pulls the company’s digital risk protection and threat intelligence products into one service. The first application built on it, HNTR Executive Protection, targets threats against corporate executives. Both are generally available today.
ZeroFox runs the platform as a loop it names discovery, validation and disruption. HNTR scans for exposure attached to a customer’s brands, domains, people and assets. Where those signals connect, it groups them. An analyst then works on one campaign instead of a scatter of separate alerts. Threats that survive validation are handed to the ZeroFox Global Disruption Network for takedown.
The underlying data goes back more than a decade, pulled from the open, deep and dark web. ZeroFox analysts add intelligence they source themselves. The AI runs inside their workflows. The company’s reasoning is that a high-context threat still needs a person to make the call on it.
Executive protection went first because it is where the digital and physical sides of the problem meet. An attack on an executive often begins with someone at the door. It begins with a home address leaked online, an itinerary surfaced on a data broker site or hostile chatter in a forum days earlier. Most organizations still run cyber and physical security as separate disciplines, with different teams watching different feeds, and those early digital signals fall into the gap.
