STOP Ransomware Automatically

Ransomware attacks can be stopped in seconds without staff intervention.
Ransomware and an office fire are lot alike. And protecting against a ransomware attack is a lot like fire-proofing your office.
To prevent a fire, you have fire doors and fire-proof floors in production areas. To keep arsonists out, access is only granted via keycard. You might even have cameras watching entrances. Fire extinguishers are everywhere.
You also have smoke detectors everywhere.
But with all the fire-proofing measures, why do you need smoke detectors? Because we know that all of the above measures don’t work 100% of the time.
So, you put smoke detectors in your building to notify everyone when a fire is starting.
A smoke detector can’t stop a fire, so you have a sprinkler system to automatically suppress a fire. You hope it will never activate, but it is there to cope with the worst-case scenario.
The missing element in ransomware prevention
Ransomware protection measures have typically lacked the “sprinkler system” to put out the fire. Today that has changed. The “sprinkler system” now exists. It is called RansomCare.
A last line of defense designed to put out ransomware fires
RansomCare steps in to stop encryption when standard prevention measures fail. Most security solutions aim to identify malware and prevent it from entering and executing. Yet, despite using advanced endpoint protection technologies, organizations, both large and small, continue to fall victim to ransomware.
RansomCare monitors your file shares on-premises and in the cloud. As soon as a user requests a file, the monitoring watches for the start of illegitimate encryption. If encryption has begun, it immediately isolates the device and sends alerts to your security team. RansomCare reporting lets you know which user and which device is infected for restoration.
The missing piece of ransomware protection – without the overhead
Most business leaders, IT professionals, and security experts would probably agree that another application or a little extra work is worth it to contain and stop ransomware. At the same time, additional security applications running on endpoints slow workstation speed. Programs can take longer to load. It’s a quiet, slow erosion of productivity. The time required to maintain and update all the endpoints and servers places a burden on IT teams.
After all, missing one endpoint or file share is a vulnerability. And that is what makes RansomCare different. RansomCare is an agentless “sprinkler system” defense against a ransomware outbreak. There are no agents to install on endpoints, servers, or file shares. In fact, as a cloud application, you don’t even need to load an application on your network. The only setup is configuration and integration with your other security solutions (as desired).
Is RansomCare the answer?
RansomCare does not replace your current security solutions, policies, and protections. It complements them, providing an additional critical layer of protection missing today. Its purpose is to act like that “sprinkler” to put out the worst-case scenario of a ransomware outbreak.
Ransomware can encrypt 10,000 files per minute per device. Isolation limits the impact to one device or file share. And that’s why the containment offered by RansomCare addresses the question that keeps many business leaders, IT professionals, and security executives awake at night: What can we do if a ransomware outbreak occurs? With RansomCare, you know the answer. The infected device will be isolated, and the impact on your organization dramatically reduced.
