BlackFog Strengthens Leadership Team with Two Key Appointments

Cheyenne, Wyoming, March 11, 2024 – BlackFog, a leader in ransomware protection and anti data exfiltration technology, today announced two key appointments to its leadership team, welcoming Roger Cobb as Senior Vice President Sales and Jonathan Glass, as Vice President of Engineering.

Cobb brings a wealth of industry experiences in consulting, sales, and security and will be leading the team in driving new business opportunities across North America. A graduate of Colorado State University, he joins BlackFog from HUMAN, where he was Senior Director, Anti Fraud. Prior to his time at HUMAN, he helped to build the channel processes at several IT and security startups including FishNet/Optive Security, Zscaler and Malwarebytes.

A startup founder himself, Glass will be responsible for growing the engineering team and overseeing product development across different platforms including, desktop, mobile and cloud for BlackFog’s ADX (Anti Data Exfiltration) technology.

Glass is an experienced developer and software architect and was most recently Senior Director of Engineering at ESO. He brings more than 15 years of experience in leading and growing large engineering teams with agile development processes and holds a Masters in Engineering from Cambridge University.

Dr Darren Williams, CEO and Founder of BlackFog comments: “We’re delighted to welcome Roger and Jonathan to our team at a time when we’re growing our customer base and expanding our reach into new markets. Our focus continues to be on product innovation and protecting organisations of all sizes which are continuously targeted by ransomware attacks. This has never been more important as more attackers leverage data exfiltration, targeting companies’ most sensitive information and intellectual property.”

He adds: “We’re at an exciting stage in our company’s growth as we continue to rapidly expand across the world. The combination of deep market knowledge and technical expertise which Roger and Jonathan bring, means we have a solid foundation for the future.”

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.
