BlackFog, a global cybersecurity company specializing in on-device anti-data exfiltration (ADX) technology, has established a distribution partnership with Exertis Enterprise, a prominent technology solutions distributor. This collaboration is set to expand BlackFog’s presence across the UK and Mainland Europe, enabling resellers and service providers to offer advanced prevention against unauthorized data exfiltration and emerging AI-enabled threats.
Dr. Darren Williams, Founder and CEO at BlackFog, stated the partnership marks a significant step in extending the company’s reach. He emphasized that together, they aim to provide organizations with robust protection against data exfiltration and evolving AI cyber threats, ensuring access to cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions supported by local expertise.
Dominic Ryles, Sales and Alliance Director at Exertis Enterprise, highlighted the shift of cybersecurity from a necessity to a commercial differentiator. He noted that the partnership integrates BlackFog’s ADX technology with Exertis’s partner ecosystem, allowing resellers and service providers to deliver solutions that safeguard customers against AI-driven threats while also opening new avenues for profitability.
The necessity for Anti-Data Exfiltration (ADX) technology is underscored by the fact that most cyberattacks involve some form of data exfiltration. Preventing data from leaving devices and networks is crucial for mitigating risk, limiting the impact of attacks, and reducing regulatory exposure. BlackFog’s ADX platform functions as a preventative layer, complementing existing EDR/XDR and network controls by blocking data exfiltration at the source through on-device behavioral controls and real-time policy enforcement. It also disrupts attacker kill chains associated with ransomware, double/triple extortion, and command-and-control traffic, and counters AI-enabled tactics with continuous, adaptive protection. The platform further supports compliance by reducing the likelihood of sensitive data breaches.
BlackFog ADX is currently available to channel partners in the UK and Mainland Europe through Exertis Enterprise. The partnership includes enablement, deal support, and services designed to foster partner growth and enhance customer outcomes. Resellers are directed to contact their Exertis Enterprise account manager for pricing, resources, and proof-of-value opportunities.
