Describes the main features of anti data exfiltration (ADX) and how it can stop ransomware.
We know that any cybercriminal intent on infiltrating a device or network will eventually find a way in, regardless of the perimeter defense solutions that are in place. ADX looks at the problem in a new way. By making the assumption that bad actors will get into the network, it focuses on preventing them [...]
The goal of any cyberattack is data theft. Adding an ADX solution to a security strategy ensures that there is nothing for an attacker to gain. Without data exfiltration there is no breach, no ransom and no extortion. When cybercriminals can’t steal data, they move on to the next target.
ADX works by investigating outgoing data on endpoint devices. This gives it a markedly smaller footprint than other solutions, such as firewalls or DLP, which examines incoming and outgoing traffic at the edge of the network. ADX solutions are lightweight enough to run on mobile devices and do not need to work on the [...]
Pioneered by BlackFog, ADX is a technique used to prevent unauthorized data from leaving a device. By targeting multiple parts of the kill chain, ADX effectively blocks the activation and spread of cyberattacks. Since cyberattacks, especially ransomware focuses on data theft for extortion this has become an important technique to thwart modern polymorphic attacks [...]
