BlackFog, a provider of anti-data exfiltration (ADX) technology, has launched ADX Vision, a new solution designed to combat the growing threat of shadow AI in the enterprise. The platform provides visibility and real-time control over unauthorized AI tool usage on endpoints, aiming to prevent data loss as employee adoption of unsanctioned large language models (LLMs) rises.
BlackFog launches ADX Vision to combat shadow AI threats and prevent data exfiltration.
The solution provides visibility into unsanctioned AI tool usage on enterprise endpoints.
It enforces governance policies and blocks unauthorized data movement in real-time.
A BlackFog survey found 49% of employees use unsanctioned AI tools at work.
ADX Vision is available now for Windows, with macOS and Linux support coming in early 2026.
The goal is to secure every endpoint and LLM interaction without disrupting productivity.
The launch responds to rapid, often ungoverned, AI adoption in the workplace. BlackFog's own survey of 2,000 employees reveals that 49% use AI tools not sanctioned by their employer, and 71% believe the productivity benefits outweigh potential data privacy risks. This creates hidden channels for data exfiltration, risking the loss of intellectual property and confidential information. ADX Vision is designed to detect this shadow AI activity directly on the device.
ADX Vision operates on the endpoint to deliver visibility into AI tool interactions and enforce governance policies automatically. It prevents unauthorized data movement in real-time, aiming to stop sensitive information from being input into or extracted by unvetted AI applications. The solution is built to provide this security control without disrupting legitimate user productivity, addressing the balance between innovation and protection.
ADX Vision represents an evolution of BlackFog's core anti-data exfiltration mission. The company has adapted its on-device technology to address the specific data loss vector created by AI systems that can capture, store, and learn from enterprise data outside of approved security controls. “ADX Vision is the next step in that journey, offering unmatched visibility into shadow AI activity so organizations can protect their data with confidence,” said Dr. Darren Williams, CEO and Founder of BlackFog.
The platform promises unified insights across the enterprise, giving security teams a clear picture of AI-related data flow risks. Initially available for Windows endpoints, BlackFog has announced plans to extend support to macOS and Linux systems in early 2026, broadening its coverage to secure diverse technology environments.
As AI becomes embedded in daily work, tools like ADX Vision aim to provide the critical oversight needed to harness AI's benefits while preventing it from becoming a major source of data breach and compliance failure.
