# How does BlackFog protect against data theft from ransomware and generative AI?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Most endpoint security stacks focus on detection and response. How does BlackFog’s approach to stopping data theft differ, and does it cover both ransomware attacks and the risk of sensitive data leaking through AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot?</p>

BlackFog takes a preventative, endpoint-native approach, focusing on stopping sensitive data from leaving the device rather than relying solely on detecting and responding after an event. 

With ransomware, BlackFog automatically blocks unauthorized data exfiltration, helping prevent attackers from stealing sensitive information and using it for extortion. 

That same approach extends to AI tools such as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. BlackFog provides visibility into how these tools are being used and what information is being shared, while automatically preventing sensitive data from being sent where it shouldn’t be. 

That visibility is important because it gives organizations the opportunity to understand user behaviour and risk, and then shape their policies and processes around how AI should be used. It means businesses can embrace AI while maintaining control over their data, rather than having to choose between unrestricted use and blocking it altogether.
