“BlackFog is a welcome addition to our cybersecurity services portfolio,” commented John McGloughlin, GuardSight Founder and CEO. “BlackFog has a truly unique approach to data privacy and security using on-device capabilities rather than cloud-based analysis. This relationship provides our customers with data privacy and security and, more importantly, compliance with the increasing number of US privacy regulations.”

“We are very excited to partner with GuardSight who recognizes the importance of data privacy and data security in the rapidly evolving regulatory environment. The crucial role of data exfiltration in data breach protection and post hoc analysis is becoming an important differentiator for many leading MSP’s.

BlackFog is the category-defining vendor in anti data exfiltration (ADX).

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.
