Exertis Enterprise partners with BlackFog to expand offering across the UK and Europe

The collaboration comes in response to rising AI-driven attacks

US-based anti-data exfiltration (ADX) vendor BlackFog has started a distribution partnership with Exertis Enterprise to offer its solutions across the UK and mainland Europe.

The collaboration will aim to equip resellers and service providers to deliver prevention against unauthorised data exfiltration and AI-enabled threats.

BlackFog’s ADX platform, in addition to stopping data from leaving devices and networks during cyberattacks, intends to add a preventative layer to complement EDR/XDR and network controls.

The platform aims to block data exfiltration and disrupt attack methods such as ransomware, double or triple extortion, and command-and-control traffic, using on-device behavioural controls and real-time policy enforcement.

The system also reportedly applies continuous and adaptive protection to counter AI-enabled tactics.

The technology is available immediately to partners across the continent.

“Our partnership with Exertis, one of UKI’s fastest growing technology distributors, marks a significant milestone in extending our reach across the region,” said Dr. Darren Williams, founder and CEO at BlackFog.

“Together, we will provide organisations with unparalleled protection against unauthorised data exfiltration and evolving AI cyber threats, ensuring customers have access to cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions backed by trusted local expertise.”

Dominic Ryles, sales and alliance director at Exertis Enterprise, added: “By combining [Blackfog’s] pioneering ADX technology with our partner ecosystem, we're enabling resellers and service providers to deliver solutions that not only safeguard customers against AI-driven and emerging threats but also unlock new routes to profitability.

“For our partners, this is about turning resilience into a competitive advantage."

This marks Exertis Enterprise’s second partnership since German private equity investor AURELIUS bought out the company’s sisters, Exertis IT, Exertis Supplies, Exertis Ireland, Macro EV, Exertis Supply Chain Services, MTR, Hypertec, and Ztorm, from its parent organisation DCC in July.

Last month, Exertis Enterprise was appointed as the sole distributor for H3C across the UKI, Benelux, and the Nordics.
