Deepinfo vs. ZeroFox
ZeroFox, now sold as the HNTR Platform, fits organizations that want analyst-led intelligence, brand and executive protection and takedown from one vendor, with long-standing depth on social platforms.
Deepinfo fits teams that want lookalike-domain detection and takedown as part of a wider exposure program, with attack surface, threat intelligence and vendor risk on one index.

Where ZeroFox Is Strong.
ZeroFox’s depth on social platforms is genuine: long-standing relationships with the platforms, established takedown workflows and a team that specializes in the category.
If impersonation on social platforms is the center of your brand program, that focus pays off. Deepinfo’s strength sits closer to the domain layer and the data underneath it.

Lookalikes Matched Across the Domain Index.
Brand Risk Protection compares newly seen domains with your brand keywords using match types that also catch letters borrowed from other alphabets. An approved lookalike is monitored for DNS, MX, SSL and HTTP changes with a risk-score timeline, so the evidence for a takedown request is already on record.
Below, one name and what each match type looks for.
-
acme.example
-
acme.test
-
acme-login.example
-
acrne.example, r + n for m
-
acem-verify.example, swapped “me”
-
аcme.example, U+0430 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A
resolves as xn--cme-5cd.example
-
аcme-login.example, U+0430 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A
resolves as xn--cme-login-zyh.example
-
aсem.example, swapped “me” · U+0441 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER ES
resolves as xn--aem-4ed.example

What Sits Beside Brand Monitoring.
An Index Deepinfo Collects Itself
400M+ domains, 2B+ subdomains, 200B+ DNS records and 30B+ SSL certificates, kept with history. Keyword rules can also scan domains registered before the rule existed.
Attack Surface, Intelligence and Vendors Alongside
External Attack Surface Management, Cyber Threat Intelligence and Third-Party Risk Management share the platform with brand monitoring. Lookalikes, leaked credentials and exposed hosts arrive under one set of notification rules.
The Data Itself, Not Only Alerts
Domain Search filters the index by name, WHOIS, DNS, SSL and web data fields, and data feeds deliver daily registered, updated and deleted domains as CSV or JSON. Your analysts can run their own lookalike hunts.
What Buyers Ask About Both.
Does Deepinfo monitor social platforms?
Yes. Brand Risk Protection covers impersonation on social platforms, app stores and search engines alongside lookalike domains. Its deepest mechanics, the match types and the per-domain evidence history, are on the domain side.
How does takedown work in Deepinfo?
Your team confirms that a lookalike is abusive, then files with the evidence the platform has collected or hands the case to Managed Takedown. Deepinfo’s team then files each request with the registrar or host that can act and follows it up until there is an answer.
What is a confusable match?
A domain that swaps one or more letters of your brand for characters from other alphabets that look the same, such as a Cyrillic а in place of a Latin a. The confusable match types catch these, alone or combined with typos and added words.
Does Deepinfo cover executives?
For their exposure, yes. Executive Threat Monitoring follows the breached accounts and leaked credentials of the people your team flags, and lookalike domains built on your brand go through Brand Risk Protection.
Does Deepinfo offer physical security intelligence?
No. Deepinfo works on internet-facing exposure: your assets, leaked credentials, lookalike domains and vendors. ZeroFox lists physical protection among its focus areas.
