use case · insider threats

Not every breach starts with an attacker.

Careless staff, compromised accounts, and departing employees can all put sensitive data at risk. BlackFog ADX stops sensitive data from leaving the endpoint, regardless of who is behind the keyboard or why.

THE INSIDER BIND

The people you trust have the most access.

Insiders already hold credentials, context, and legitimate reasons to touch sensitive data. That makes their activity look normal right up until data walks out the door.

Perimeter and identity tools can verify access, but they don’t necessarily control what happens to data next. When a trusted user sends sensitive records to a personal cloud or other unauthorized destination, ADX acts at the endpoint to stop the data from leaving.

HOW INSIDERS LEAK DATA

Four ways trusted access turns into loss.

Each of these looks like ordinary work. ADX evaluates the destination and stops sensitive data at the source.

DEPARTURES

Taking data to a new job

A departing employee sends client lists, designs, or pipeline data to a personal cloud account or other unauthorized destination.

ADX → blocks sensitive transfers to unauthorized destinations before the data leaves the device.

Working from home

Personal accounts

Someone emails a spreadsheet to a personal account or uploads sensitive files to a personal cloud service to work from home.

ADX → blocks sensitive data from being sent to unauthorized destinations.

COMPROMISEd accounts

A hijacked legitimate account

An attacker rides a valid session and moves data out slowly, blending in with normal activity.

ADX → monitors outbound data movement on the endpoint and blocks unauthorized transfers in real-time.

SHADOW AI

Feeding internal data to AI

An insider pastes confidential records into a consumer AI tool, exposing them to a third party.

ADX → sees AI-bound sensitive data on the device and blocks it before it is sent.

NO CONTENT SURVEILLANCE

Protect data without policing people

ADX focuses on where sensitive data is going and whether it is authorized to leave. It stops unauthorized transfers at the endpoint, without turning data protection into employee surveillance.

WHY THE ENDPOINT

Stop the loss without slowing the business.

ON-DEVICE

Works on and off network

Protection travels with the device, so a departing employee at home is covered the same as one in the office.

DESTINATION AWARE

Controls where data can go

ADX blocks sensitive data heading to unsanctioned destinations without profiling individual users.

WORKS ALONGSIDE

Complements DLP and EDR

ADX adds the exfiltration prevention layer next to the tools you already run, with no rip and replace.

ASSURANCE

Evidence that insider risk is controlled.

ADX turns insider-risk obligations into controls you can demonstrate to auditors, regulators, and the board.

Prevention

Block sensitive data from leaving the endpoint across every exfiltration path.

Audit trail

On-device logging of blocked transfers gives a clear record of what was stopped.

Offboarding

Protection stays enforced through notice periods and remote departures.

Data minimization

A lightweight agent that never collects the content it protects.

“Security has spent decades trying to stop people getting in. But insiders are already in. The only place to stop sensitive data leaving is the endpoint it leaves from.”
