BlackFog Privacy Improves Cyber Privacy and Data Security

Real-time cyber privacy protection dramatically improves performance and security of computers.

Cheyenne, Wyoming, February 8, 2016. Today BlackFog launched BlackFog Privacy, the first in a range of cyber privacy products designed to protect your online and offline privacy using real-time threat detection and blocking. Using a triage approach to data privacy, BlackFog Privacy is able to intercept, detect and respond to data profiling and collection requests before they happen and block any data leakage from your computer.

With more than 20% of all online traffic focused on advertising, marketing, data collection and profiling (with some sites exceeding more than 40%), it is crucial that individuals and corporations have a way to control the information they are disclosing. BlackFog Privacy provides visual insight into your data using a series of gauges, so you can see at a glance where your data is going and what factors contribute to your privacy.

“After thousands of hours of research and development and listening to customers needs and concerns we are excited to offer a lightweight holistic solution to protect individual and corporate privacy”, said Dr. Darren Williams, Founder and CEO of BlackFog.

Through a layered approach to security BlackFog Privacy provides real-time cyberattack defense and protection and consists of 12 layers of defense against ransomware, spyware, malware, phishing, unauthorized data collection and profiling.

In addition, BlackFog Privacy is able to remove existing forensic data from your computer, lockdown all your system settings and even notify you when your microphone has been activated for cases when your microphone is hijacked by spyware. BlackFog can also detect and prevents data collection from many spyware products.

The software is available for Windows 7, 8 and 10 and automatically provides weekly updates to all rules to ensure your computer remains safe as new threats are discovered. A 30 day trial is available from the company web site at http://www.blackfog.com. Release pricing is $19.95 per year and will be available until March 31st, 2016, after which it will be $35.00 per year. Bundle pricing is also available to protect multiple devices.

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.
