The company has incorporated ZeroFOX‘s Dark Web Monitoring tool into its system, creating a unified solution. This will result in a combination of human and artificial intelligence actively scanning the Dark Web for potential dangers like leaked data, compromised credentials, and other sensitive information in real-time.

This approach allows for early detection and prompt intervention. Wirex benefits from ZeroFox’s advanced monitoring capabilities, utilising a system that issues detailed alerts about potential threats, including their severity and escalation status, ensuring a quick and effective response to incidents.
A significant aspect of this initiative is the effective combat against mule accounts, a critical concern in the financial industry. The integrated system is adept at identifying and responding to suspicious account activities, thereby significantly reducing the risk of financial fraud and reinforcing the security of user transactions.
