The Abyss ransomware group is a ransomware group that emerged around 2020, operating primarily as a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group. Abyss is known for targeting large organizations, including enterprises in healthcare, manufacturing, and professional services. Abyss typically uses double extortion tactics, encrypting victims’ data while also stealing sensitive information and threatening to publish it if [...]
Access brokers (also known as initial access brokers) are criminal groups who specialize in selling illegitimate access to corporate networks. These groups breach the networks and then sell the access on to ransomware and other cybercriminal groups.
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a prolonged and targeted cyberattack in which an intruder, or team of intruders, gain access to a network using sophisticated hacking techniques, and remain undetected for an extended period of time.
What is Adversarial Machine Learning? Adversarial machine learning refers to a field of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence that focuses on how attackers manipulate, deceive, or exploit machine learning models in order to cause them to behave incorrectly or reveal sensitive information. These attacks target the AI system itself rather than traditional infrastructure such as [...]
Adware is a type of malware that displays unwanted pop up advertisements on your computer or device. Adware is commonly activated unknowingly when a user is trying to install legitimate applications that the adware is bundled with. The ads are delivered through pop-up windows or bars that appear on the program's user interface. Adware is commonly [...]
What is ADX Protect? ADX Protect is an enterprise cybersecurity solution developed by BlackFog that focuses on preventing data exfiltration and stopping cyberattacks before sensitive information leaves an organization’s network or devices. Built on BlackFog’s anti data exfiltration (ADX) technology, ADX Protect uses AI driven behavioral analysis and endpoint monitoring to identify and block [...]
What is ADX Vision? ADX Vision is a cybersecurity solution developed by BlackFog that provides organizations with real-time visibility and control over how artificial intelligence tools interact with enterprise data. Built on BlackFog’s anti data exfiltration (ADX) technology, ADX Vision is designed to detect and prevent sensitive information from being shared with generative AI [...]
What is Agentic AI? Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that can autonomously plan, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals with limited human intervention. Unlike traditional AI tools that respond to direct prompts or perform narrowly defined tasks, agentic AI systems are designed to operate as independent agents capable of [...]
What is an AI Enabled Threat? An AI enabled threat refers to a cyber threat or malicious activity in which attackers use artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning, generative AI, or large language models (LLMs) to enhance, automate, or scale cyberattacks. These threats leverage AI to make traditional attack techniques faster, more targeted, [...]
What is an AI Hallucination? An AI hallucination occurs when a generative AI system produces information that is false, fabricated, or misleading while presenting it as if it were accurate. AI hallucinations typically occur in systems powered by large language models (LLMs), such as generative AI chatbots and AI assistants, which generate responses based [...]
