attractive target for attackers leveraging sophisticated techniques to evade traditional security measures .
BlackFog , the leader in ransomware prevention and Anti-Data
Exfiltration ( ADX ), has launched its next-generation cybersecurity protection platform for macOS . Expanding its robust protection for Windows , Android and ChromeOS , the new macOS edition provides comprehensive threat coverage for all Apple devices running macOS Ventura or later .
One of the biggest challenges facing all organisations is the growing threat of ransomware and AI-based attacks . With AI-powered algorithms at its core , BlackFog ’ s technology effectively prevents ransomware and data exfiltration 24 / 7 , without the need for human intervention . As 94 % of all publicised attacks now involve data exfiltration , preventing this has become critical in the fight against ransomware and data loss . With no data , there is no extortion , no data breach and nothing to disclose .
BlackFog ’ s ADX technology is a critical advancement in the fight against ransomware , as macOS has become an increasingly
This latest launch follows a series of product enhancements designed to provide seamless data loss prevention without the need for complex data classification . By eliminating operational friction , BlackFog empowers organisations to enhance their security posture with minimal overhead .
“ While existing technologies such as Endpoint Detection and Response ( EDR ) provide solid inbound protection , no one else has solved the problem of data exfiltration – and ultimately , the extortion that follows ,” said Dr . Darren Williams , Founder and CEO of BlackFog . “ Our macOS agent provides complete , unified security across the entire enterprise , managed effortlessly through our centralised console .”
With AI being leveraged by bad actors for deepfakes and other advanced phishing techniques , it is critical that organisations are prepared for the next generation of attacks . Detection of data exfiltration is becoming an important tool for every organisation , as bad actors continue to remain latent for months – and sometimes years – before launching full-scale attacks . The fight against costly , disruptive and , in some cases , devastating ransomware attacks requires new approaches to this escalating problem .
