BlackFog is a global leader in AI-based cybersecurity and the pioneer of anti data exfiltration (ADX) technology. Since inventing ADX, BlackFog has remained relentlessly focused in its mission to prevent unauthorized data from leaving the organization, well before data exfiltration became the primary driver of modern cyberattacks. As threats evolve beyond traditional ransomware and spyware to include the rapid and ungoverned use of AI tools, BlackFog continues to innovate to keep customers ahead of emerging risks. With the expansion of its ADX platform to include advanced protections against Shadow AI, BlackFog empowers organizations to defend their data against both established and next-generation exfiltration threats.
