The government and education sectors have proven irresistible targets for cyberattacks. In 2023, government saw a 57% increase in attacks, while the education sector experienced a 70% increase over the previous year.
Massive quantities of sensitive data, aging infrastructures and large attack surfaces make these sectors an irresistible target for cybercriminals. At the most basic level, these organizations possess troves of highly valuable and sensitive data, which once exfiltrated, are leveraged for extortion. Detailed personnel and student records, financial information, and other personally identifiable details are easily exploited or sold at a premium by attackers.
As cyberattacks have become more sophisticated, and attackers are increasingly focused on data theft for extortion, BlackFog’s anti data exfiltration (ADX) solution has been designed to mitigate these risks with a new approach.
While other solutions are predominately focused on watching the perimeter and trying to keep attackers out, BlackFog takes a different approach with Anti Data Exfiltration (ADX) technology. Rather than focusing on the perimeter, BlackFog ADX filters network traffic in real-time to effectively stop attacks as they happen. Using advanced AI based algorithms, BlackFog stops cyberattacks and prevents the exfiltration of data from a device or network. The platform has been designed to be fully automated, eliminating the need for a 24/7 SOC operations center. BlackFog provides 24/7 protection without the need for human intervention, critical today as we know most attacks happen in the middle of the night, on weekends and holidays so you can rest assured BlackFog has you covered.
With data being the ultimate prize for cybercriminals, and 93% of all ransomware attacks now exfiltrating data, preventing data exfiltration has never been important. BlackFog’s award-winning technology is trusted by organizations globally to secure their most valuable data.
