BlackFog Named “Hot Vendor” by Leading Analyst Firm

Cheyenne, Wyoming, July 21, 2020. BlackFog, a leading provider of Data Privacy and Data Security solutions, today announced it has been included in the list of “Hot Vendors” in the “Hot Vendors in Security and Privacy, 2020” report by Aragon Research, Inc.

BlackFog’s data privacy and data security platform provides enterprises with on device data breach protection and prevents the unauthorized collection and transmission of user data over the network. By monitoring the exfiltration of data from the network BlackFog ensures compliance with global privacy and data protection regulations.

“What makes BlackFog hot is its unique approach to data privacy and security. Rather than protecting the perimeter, BlackFog assumes bad actors will get in, or are already persistent and is able to prevent data exfiltration from the device”, said CEO of Aragon Research, Jim Lundy.

“It is a quite an honor to be included in Aragon’s latest report which has included previous winners such as Zoom, Box and DocuSign. BlackFog’s disruptive technology reframes the way CISO’s and organizations think about privacy and security. Preventing the problem in the first place allows organizations to bypass the costly post hoc analysis, remediation, and mandatory reporting to keep operations running smoothly, said Dr. Darren Williams, Founder and CEO of BlackFog.

BlackFog is available for individuals and organizations across all major platforms and can be downloaded directly here. Please contact sa***@******og.com if you would like to trial our Enterprise platform today.

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.
