Mimecast Aware vs. BlackFog

Aware is Mimecast's governance and compliance solution for collaboration platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. It gives IT, security, legal, and compliance teams full visibility into collaboration data in one place, plus custom detection rules that catch sensitive data sharing and policy violations as they happen. When something gets flagged, Aware surfaces the full context, surrounding messages, files, and edits, so teams understand intent fast, with AI-powered summaries to speed up investigations.

Data can’t be stolen if it never leaves. BlackFog prevents data exfiltration from endpoints, stopping sensitive information from flowing to ransomware groups, AI tools, cloud services, and other unauthorized destinations. While most cybersecurity solutions focus on detecting threats, BlackFog focuses on preventing the outcome attackers want most: access to your data. Our endpoint-native platform monitors and controls outbound communications in real time, preventing data loss through ransomware, insider threats, shadow AI, and other exfiltration channels.
