When traditional AV solutions are not enough. Preventing cybercriminals from exfiltrating your data with ADX technology. Webinar It seems counterintuitive to want to lock in a cybercriminal who has crept past all your defences to smuggle data out from under your nose. Their aim after all is to cause you damage by exfiltrating sensitive information and using it to extort a potentially ruinous ransom. The usual approach to stopping that from happening is to man the barricades, target incoming traffic and establish a perimeter defence using dictionaries of attack signatures. But BlackFog advocates a different approach, with on-device anti data exfiltration (ADX) technology leveraging AI based behavioural analytics to limit the ability for any users, even administrators, to send unauthorized data outside the network. Join the Register's Tim Phillips on 15 November at 5pm GMT/12pm EST/9am PST in conversation with BlackFog Founder and CEO, Dr Darren Williams. They'll ponder the most efficient and successful way to secure all your devices and data and explain why traditional AV solutions struggle to stop AI-enhanced intruders. Tim and Darren will also posit why ADX technology may be the best defence against ransomware and extortion and tell you how you can most effectively secure your data. Sign up to watch our Prevent data exfiltration webinar here and we'll send you a reminder when it's time to log on. Sponsored by BlackFog
Daily Brief Summary
Traditional antivirus (AV) solutions are inadequate for stopping the latest cyber threats, particularly AI-enhanced intruders aiming at data exfiltration.
Cybercriminals exploit sensitive information by capturing it from compromised systems, seeking to leverage it for ransom and extortion.
BlackFog introduces on-device anti data exfiltration (ADX) technology, utilizing AI-based behavioural analytics to prevent unauthorized data transmission.
ADX technology restricts even users with administrator privileges from sending unauthorized data outside the network, enhancing security measures.
A webinar hosted by The Register with BlackFog's CEO, Dr Darren Williams, will discuss the effectiveness of ADX technology versus traditional AV solutions.
The session aims to educate on securing devices and data against ransomware and how to implement ADX technology for superior cyber defence.
Interested participants are invited to sign up for the webinar on data exfiltration prevention, scheduled for 15 November.
