Keep student and research data on the right side of campus.

Open by design, education is a soft target holding student records, research IP, and staff data. BlackFog ADX stops that data leaving the endpoint in real-time, across a diverse, roaming device fleet.

THE education BIND

Openness is the mission and the risk.

Campuses run open networks, personal devices, and a constant churn of students and researchers. That openness also creates a sprawling attack surface.

Perimeter tools cannot follow a student laptop or a researcher off-site. Sensitive data can leave through AI tools, personal cloud, and roaming devices. The endpoint provides control at the point of data movement, and that is where ADX runs.

WHERE campus DATA LEAKS

Four everyday moments that become a breach.

These transfers can happen beyond the visibility of traditional network and cloud controls. Each is stopped on the endpoint, in real-time, by ADX.

SHADOW AI

Student records into AI

Staff paste grades or student details into a consumer AI tool to draft communications.

ADX → sees AI-bound student data on the device and blocks it before it sends.

RESEARCH IP

Unpublished research walking out

A departing researcher copies unpublished data or grant IP to a personal drive.

ADX → blocks unsanctioned transfer of research data at the source.

RANSOMWARE

Extortion of the institution

Attackers steal student and staff records first, then encrypt and threaten to publish.

ADX → stops the outbound exfiltration, so there is nothing to leak or extort.

OFF-NETWORK

Learning and research anywhere

Students and faculty work from laptops far from any campus firewall or proxy.

ADX → runs on-device with no VPN, so protection travels with the device.

DIVERSE estate

Built for a fleet you do not fully own

Campus devices span managed labs, BYOD laptops, and everything between. ADX provides on-device protection across managed endpoints without slowing users down.

WHY THE ENDPOINT

Built for how campuses actually work.

ON-DEVICE

No cloud connectivity required

Prevention happens on the device, so protection holds on open and off-campus networks.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Protects student data without collecting it

ADX evaluates where data is going without collecting the records it protects.

WORKS ALONGSIDE

Complements your existing security stack

ADX adds the prevention layer alongside the security tools you already run.

COMPLIANCE

Evidence for FERPA and research security.

ADX aligns to the duties institutions carry, turning data protection obligations into demonstrable controls.

FERPA

Block student education records from leaving the endpoint through unauthorized transfers.

Research security

Prevent unpublished research and grant IP being exfiltrated.

Audit controls

On-device logging of prevented transfers supports institutional evidence.

Data minimization

A minimal-footprint agent that never collects the data it protects.

“A campus is open on purpose. The one place you can still hold data back is the device it would leave from.”
