BlackFog Anti Data Exfiltration (ADX)
Unified Protection Against Ransomware, Cyberthreats, and Shadow AI
Government organizations face an evolving threat landscape where data, not systems, is the primary target. Cyberattacks against public sector entities continue to rise, driven by the value of the sensitive information agencies manage and the critical services they deliver. Citizen records, personnel data, financial systems, and infrastructure information are increasingly targeted for theft, extortion, and long-term exploitation.
At the same time, the attack surface has expanded dramatically. Cloud adoption, remote work, and the rapid use of generative AI tools, many introduced outside formal approval processes, have created new, unmanaged pathways for sensitive government data to leave the organization. These risks often bypass traditional perimeter defenses and detection-only controls.
Today, data exfiltration sits at the center of modern cyber risk, with more than 96% of ransomware attacks now including data theft. Adversaries have shifted from disruption to extortion, while insider misuse, supply-chain compromise, Shadow IT, and Shadow AI expand the number of ways sensitive data can escape traditional controls. Securing government systems now demands persistent, real-time prevention of unauthorized data movement across all environments.
BlackFog was purpose-built to address this challenge. Unlike solutions focused primarily on keeping attackers out, BlackFog’s anti data exfiltration (ADX) technology operates on the endpoint, monitoring outbound network traffic, and controlling data flows in real-time. Using advanced AI-driven analytics, BlackFog automatically identifies and blocks malicious or unauthorized data exfiltration as it occurs, stopping ransomware, malware, and covert data theft before damage is done. This prevention-first approach operates 24/7 without the need for human intervention.
With BlackFog’s latest offering, ADX Vision, this same prevention model extends to AI-driven risk. ADX Vision provides visibility and control over sanctioned and unsanctioned AI tools, browser-based AI interactions, and AI-assisted workflows, treating AI activity as a potential data exfiltration point. This unified approach ensures ransomware, cybercrime, insider threats, and Shadow AI are all addressed through one core control: real-time data exfiltration prevention.
BlackFog helps government agencies safeguard sensitive data and protect public trust in an increasingly AI-driven threat environment.
