With bad actors continuing to remain latent for months – and sometimes years – before launching full-scale attacks, detecting these attacks is becoming crucial in the fight against ransomware. Similarly, new threats from insiders are becoming more routine, with a combination of disgruntled employees and ransomware groups adopting new tactics such as recruiting employees by force or inducement.
To combat these threats BlackFog automatically trains every device over seven to thirty days, searching for variations in baseline activity. If any event exceeds a predefined threshold, a flag is raised within the management console. BlackFog’s algorithms adapt continuously to each organization’s environment, accommodating differences in time zones and workdays (weekdays vs. weekends) to ensure accurate detection of suspicious activity.
“With the increasing costs of remediation, fines and loss of business now exceeding 1 million dollars it is becoming critical to protect not only customer data, but all your digital assets from the threat of extortion.” said Dr. Darren Williams, Founder and CEO of BlackFog. “With more that 95% of all ransomware attacks now involving data exfiltration it is more critical than ever to protect your data.”
