BlackFog, a global leader in AI-powered anti data exfiltration (ADX) technology, has announced the addition of Kenneth A. Goldman, former Chief Financial Officer of Yahoo! Inc., Fortinet, and Siebel Systems, to its Board of Advisors.

Goldman’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for BlackFog, as the company continues to scale its enterprise presence and prepares to unveil the next phase of its ADX innovation, designed to strengthen defenses against ransomware and data theft.

Driving Innovation in AI-Based Data Exfiltration Protection

BlackFog has positioned itself at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation with its AI-driven ADX technology, which prevents unauthorized data transfers in real time. The solution proactively stops external threats while also addressing the fast-growing risk of insider data leaks—a challenge that continues to plague enterprises across industries.

Unlike traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems, which often involve complex integrations and performance trade-offs, BlackFog’s ADX enforces cross-platform, egress-level protection policies that automatically block data from leaving corporate environments to untrusted destinations. This proactive approach enables security leaders to maintain full control over data movement without disrupting productivity or workflows.

Goldman’s Strategic Value to BlackFog

A seasoned financial executive with more than 40 years of experience leading technology companies through high-growth and transformational stages, Kenneth Goldman is widely recognized for his leadership as CFO at Yahoo (2012–2017). His career also includes executive roles at Fortinet and Siebel Systems, and he currently serves on the boards of RingCentral, Fortinet, Kodiak Robotics, and C3.ai.

Goldman’s deep expertise in corporate governance, financial strategy, and scaling pre-IPO organizations is expected to play a key role in BlackFog’s expansion and strategic evolution.
