BlackFog Delivers Powerful Ransomware and Cybersecurity Protection with Latest ADX Updates

According to the company, BlackFog’s pioneering platform focuses specifically on anti data exfiltration to prevent unauthorized data from leaving a device, ensuring that an organization’s most sensitive information is protected.

The latest enhancements in Version 5 are designed to provide enhanced data loss prevention without the need for data classification. This comes at a time when ransomware attacks continue to evolve and disrupt businesses worldwide, the company said.

Key updates in Version 5 include:

• Air Gap protection for sensitive data: The latest release features a significant new enhancement—air gapping—to ensure no data can leave without passing through its AI based threat detection engine. This feature acts like a bridge that all traffic passes through before connecting, stopping communication entirely rather than resetting an established connection.
• Real-time geofencing for detecting bad actors: Leveraging BlackFog’s global network of servers to identify the destination of every packet, real time geofencing improves the accuracy with which the platform detects bad actors, prevents data exfiltration and lateral movement across the network.
• Baseline activity monitoring: BlackFog’s AI based algorithms identify zero-day attacks in real time and monitor process behavior, intent, and data chain of custody to determine the legitimacy of every packet. A new layer of detection—baseline activity monitoring—helps detect dwell time, payload activation and insider threats.

“We’ve introduced powerful new features to help those on the front line of the fight against costly, disruptive and, in some cases, devastating ransomware attacks. It’s the culmination of years of research and development and underlines our commitment to delivering the highest levels of cybersecurity protection,” said Dr. Darren Williams, CEO and founder, BlackFog. “With AI being leveraged by bad actors for deepfakes and other advanced phishing techniques, it is important organizations are equally armed with tools like BlackFog to fight back.”
