BlackFog: The Best Anti Ransomware Protection Software

BlackFog’s unique on-device ADX technology enables businesses to protect against the most pervasive and damaging threats today, including data exfiltration and cyber extortion.

While other antimalware tools rely on signature detection to spot and block threats, BlackFog ADX uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze behavior on the network. This approach means it can identify zero-day vulnerabilities, fileless attacks and insider threats that traditional security solutions cannot.

No perimeter defenses can offer 100 percent protection. By starting from the assumption that bad actors will get into your network, BlackFog ADX looks at the problem in a new way and ensures that, even if you are breached, cybercriminals will be unable to exfiltrate your most valuable data.
