For $250 a month, anyone with zero skill can now run a ransomware operation — keylogging, RATs, session cookie theft, and full attacker support included. Dr. Darren Williams, Founder and CEO of BlackFog, returns to TechStrong TV with Alan Shimel to unpack Onyx C2, the new ransomware-as-a-service model his team has tracked actively in the wild 254 times and counting. Drawing on his PhD in pharmacology and 25+ years of building category-defining tech, Darren explains why every cybersecurity strategy that focuses only on the front door is destined to fail — and why anti data exfiltration (ADX), pioneered by BlackFog, has become the resiliency layer modern enterprises can’t ignore. He and Alan also dig into why reimaging a compromised endpoint no longer works when session cookies and MFA keys have already been stolen, and what a holistic, biology-inspired approach to security really looks like.
