step in protecting Government and Educational sectors from these threats,” said
Dr. Darren Williams, Founder and CEO at BlackFog. “Through this partnership we can
widen our reach by leveraging Carahsoft’s extensive reseller network and

As technology
advances, so do the cyber threats that accompany it. BlackFog’s Anti Data
Exfiltration (ADX): Next Generation Ransomware Protection is an AI-based
cybersecurity solution designed to counter the growing cyber threats targeting
Government and Educational data. With 24/7 fully automated protection, BlackFog
provides real-time defense against cyberattacks and data breaches by using AI
to analyze network behavior. This proactive approach deflects fileless attacks,
zero-day vulnerabilities and insider threats that traditional measures often
lack. BlackFog’s strategy to prevent data exfiltration ensures end users can
have peace of mind, knowing their infrastructure is continuously monitored and
protected. Deploying BlackFog’s ransomware prevention solutions in the Public
Sector will help Government agencies combat cyber threats before they
occur. 

“With the
inclusion of BlackFog in our portfolio, we are now able to provide Government
organizations with advanced technologies to safeguard their data and protect
their infrastructure,” said Brian O’Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity
Solutions at Carahsoft. “BlackFog’s innovative ransomware protection goes
beyond the perimeter defense, leveraging modern technology to intercept attacks
before any damages occurs. Carahsoft and our reseller partners are committed to
equipping the Public Sector with the essential tools needed to stay resilient
in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape.”
