ADX Protect

ADX Protect blocks data exfiltration at the source, on every endpoint, in real-time. Ransomware, fileless attacks, and insider threats are neutralized before a single byte leaves the device.

On-device. Real-time. Prevention-first.

Modern attacks don’t break in. They quietly move your data out.

AntiVirus and EDR are built to detect threats and respond to attacks. But detection alone doesn’t stop sensitive data from leaving the device. By the time an incident is identified, the data may already be gone.

  • 183 days: average time to detect a breach, plus 64 more to contain it. (IBM, 2026)
  • $4.99m: average cost of a single data breach, and climbing. (IBM, 2026)

One lightweight agent. Every outbound path covered.

It runs as a lightweight agent across every outbound path. AI behavioral analysis neutralizes threats across the full attack lifecycle, replication, communication, and exfiltration, and blocks unauthorized data before it leaves the device.

Stop ransomware where it actually hurts: data exfiltration.

  1. Initial access: Phishing, stolen credentials, or an unpatched vulnerability gives access.
  2. Data exfiltration: ADX stops the outbound transfer on the device, in real-time. ADX stops it here.
  3. Encryption: Files are locked, but backups can restore them. Prevented.
  4. Extortion: Pay or the stolen data is leaked or sold. Prevented.

How ADX Protect works

01. Kill the attack at every stage, before data leaves.

Most tools wait for damage. ADX Protect neutralizes threats across the full attack lifecycle, from replication to communication to exfiltration. It blocks lateral movement and stops unauthorized data at the source, before it leaves the device.

  • Blocks ransomware and double-extortion exfiltration
  • Severs C2, TOR and known-bad infrastructure
  • Stops insider and accidental data loss

02. Catch what signatures never will.

Legacy antimalware depends on signatures of attacks it has already seen. ADX Protect uses AI behavioral analysis to stop zero-day vulnerabilities, fileless attacks, and insider threats the moment behavior turns malicious, no prior knowledge required.

  • Decisions made on-device, at the process level
  • Trained on every known variant, adapting to new ones
  • No rules to write, no signatures to update

03. Enforcement on-device, not the cloud.

ADX runs as a lightweight agent on every endpoint. It inspects outbound traffic in the data path, evaluates each connection by behavior, and blocks unauthorized data movement in real-time.

  • No cloud round-trip
  • No content inspection
  • Works on or off network

04. One console. Every threat, scored and mapped.

Lightweight agents report to a centralized cloud console with a unified view of threats across your estate. Optional Threat Hunting adds confidence scoring and MITRE ATT&CK classification, while Dark Web monitoring scans for exposed credentials.

  • On-device logging of blocked transfers gives a clear record of what was stopped.
  • One agent. One console. End to end.

Built to protect your data without collecting it.

ADX is designed to prevent unauthorized data movement at the endpoint, without sending your sensitive data to BlackFog. Its footprint on the device is deliberately minimal.

Every endpoint, one agent.

One ADX agent covers every endpoint your people work on. Desktop, mobile, virtual and cloud, managed from a single enterprise console.

Supported platforms: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Chrome.

Detection finds the breach. ADX prevents it.

AntiVirus, EDR, and XDR are built to detect threats after they land. ADX Protect stops the data from ever leaving, and runs alongside the security stack you already have.

ADX = BlackFog anti data exfiltration

About BlackFog

BlackFog is the category-defining vendor in anti data exfiltration (ADX). Founded in 2015, the company invented ADX on the thesis that the endpoint is the only control point capable of stopping data from leaving an organization, an architectural bet that has now been validated across three exfiltration vectors: ransomware, Shadow AI, and autonomous AI agents. BlackFog’s endpoint-native platform protects more than 500 enterprises, government agencies, and critical infrastructure operators worldwide. The company is the publisher of the annual State of Ransomware report and the BlackFog/Sapio Shadow AI Research, the most-cited primary research in the category. BlackFog’s recognition includes the teiss Awards 2026, the AI Excellence Award 2026, the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards 2026, and the Cybersecurity Breakthrough Award 2026. BlackFog is headquartered in San Francisco, with international operations in London and Belfast. Learn more at blackfog.com.
