Wirex benefits from ZeroFox’s advanced monitoring capabilities, utilising a sophisticated system that issues detailed alerts about potential threats, including their severity and escalation status, ensuring a quick and effective response to incidents.

The cutting-edge technology offered by ZeroFox has played a crucial role in strengthening our defenses, especially in combating the rise of the money mule accounts. This has reinforced our standing as a reliable financial platform.”
Wirex’s integration of a Dark Web Monitoring tool, as a complement to existing measures, underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to security.
As a regulated financial institution, Wirex prioritises compliance with Know-Your-Customer (KYC) regulations to ensure financial integrity and security. Wirex places a high priority on securing user accounts by implementing a robust account verification process. This proactive measure is designed to protect accounts from unauthorised access and potentially fraudulent activities. By confirming user identities, Wirex aims to assure users that their accounts and funds are safeguarded, enhancing overall account security.
Additionally, Wirex works closely with law enforcement agencies in sharing intelligence and combating financial and cybercrimes.
Furthering its commitment to customer education, Wirex continues to provide educational content to inform and empower its users about the importance of security and responsible financial practices.
Together with ZeroFox’s advanced solution, Wirex is setting new standards in financial security, effectively tackling the challenges posed by the Dark Web and mule accounts in the digital finance landscape.
