Stop Cyberattacks with ADX

By targeting multiple parts of the kill chain anti data exfiltration is able to block the activation and spread of cyber attacks. Since cyber attacks, especially ransomware focuses on data theft to extort payment this has become an important technique to thwart modern polymorphic attacks that cannot be stopped by traditional anti virus solutions.

BlackFog’s preventative approach to security recognizes the limitations of existing perimeter defense techniques and neutralizes attacks before they happen at multiple points in their lifecycle. Trusted by corporations all over the world BlackFog is redefining modern cyber security practices.

Data Privacy

Visibility into the unauthorized collection and transmission of user data across every device, within and beyond the corporate network.

Data Breaches

Assess the impact of latent threats by monitoring the exfiltration of data from any network.

All Cyberattacks Lead to Data Exfiltration

The goal of any attack is to steal information for competitive, disruptive or monetary gain. An attacker infiltrating a network or a device in and of itself does not make a successful cyberattack. An attack is only successful if unauthorized data is stolen or removed from a device or network.

When you think about successful cyberattacks, all roads lead to data exfiltration, without it there is no gain for the attacker. No exfiltration of data = no data loss, no data breach and no data being held to ransom.

At face value it seems simple, and actually with the right technology it can be. Modern attacks are predicated on the ability to communicate with third party servers to steal data, so by deploying a solution that monitors, detects and prevents the unauthorized transmission of data in real-time, the threat of data loss is mitigated.
