While many organizations assume their endpoint security product, combined with their backup strategy, provides sufficient protection against ransomware attacks, the evolution of attackers’ TTPs leaves organizations with a ransomware security gap.

Halcyon Linux is the first endpoint agent specifically built for proactive, real-time ransomware protection tailored to the unique challenges of Linux environments. Whether safeguarding on-premise infrastructure or cloud-based services, Halcyon provides comprehensive defense against ransomware, keeping your most critical systems secure with minimal operational impact.

Halcyon Data Exfiltration Prevention (DXP) module is made for detecting and defending against data extortion attacks. It offers organizations a reliable, cost-effective, and easy-to-implement solution to the gaps left by insider threat solutions and other endpoint controls.

The Halcyon Advantage lies in our Technology Differentiation: Halcyon is the first contextually aware and self-healing endpoint agent that prevents catastrophic failure due to ransomware. The Halcyon Platform has four layers of self-healing ransomware protection to augment and armor your security stack, while significantly reducing your ransomware risk.

Technical Deep Dive: Anti-Ransomware Protection. The Halcyon Anti-Ransomware and Cyber Resilience Platform was also designed with failure in mind: on the rare occasion that a ransomware payload manages to execute, Halcyon autonomously neutralizes the attack and enables teams to recover and restore the impacted endpoint quickly, within minutes.

Modern defensive cyber solutions, while impressive, have failed in the face of cheap and easy-to-create – and most importantly lucrative – ransomware. Halcyon has built the first anti-ransomware engine to tackle this problem. Halcyon is the industry’s first dedicated, adaptive security platform focused specifically on stopping ransomware attacks, and is built by attackers to stop attackers.

Together, Microsoft Defender and Halcyon deliver a robust, multi-layered defense strategy that protects against ransomware, binary-based data exfiltration, and other advanced cyber threats, ensuring comprehensive coverage and fast recovery.

As the velocity of attacks increases, security teams will need to operate 24x7 to combat them effectively. Unfortunately, most SecOps teams do not have the resources or the budget to staff around the clock. Halcyon Ransomware Detection and Recovery, powered by the Halcyon RISE Team, provides every Halcyon customer with the coverage and expertise required to effectively triage, investigate, and respond, evict, and recover from ransomware attacks 24/7/365.

Halcyon’s unique ability to prevent ransomware from running, capture encryption keys, stop data leaks, and assist in automated data recovery provides several positive outcomes for organizations of all sizes

Halcyon can ready your organization with our Ransomware Readiness Assessment designed to educate your organization with the latest techniques ransomware actors are using to successfully execute their attacks and provide effective countermeasures to minimize the impact should a ransomware event affect the organization. Assess your risk, discover the gaps in your recovery plan, and get tangible steps to improve your attack readiness.

While the steps during an IR are necessary, they are more informed by the need to build a chain of custody for legal requirements than the drive to recover and return a business to operational status quickly. The Halcyon Greenlight Service solves this problem, by returning to normal after any ransomware incident.

The true effects of ransomware expand far beyond the initial disruption and subsequent ransom payment. While the costs of a ransomware attack on an organization are too disruptive to leave to a single product or AI behavioral model. This infographic breaks down the how the attack's ransom is just the impact epicenter of the blast radius set in motion. This datasheet outlines and details the latest in ransomware attack impact.

From the proto-viruses of the 1970s like Creeper to full-blown cyber weapons like Stuxnet and the rise of nation-state Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups, the history of malware has continued to evolve from the moment computers were first networked together. For most of this history, viruses, and malware were used for experimentation, hacktivism, denial of resources, and espionage but as digital currencies like Bitcoin took off, so did the ultimate form of cybercrime: ransomware.

The significant costs associated with trying to mitigate ransomware risk has carried a diminishing return and resulted in deploying incomplete solutions to a new and evolving threat. However, the cost to respond and recover from a ransom is significantly higher than trying to prevent it.

With the growth of ransomware attacks against healthcare providers in the past year it's clear that our critical healthcare networks are more vulnerable than ever. Halcyon is pleased to offer our anti-ransomware platform free for three months to all US-based healthcare providers.

EPP and EDR solutions attempt to prevent and detect ransomware, but the evidence tells a different story. The Colonial Pipeline and other attacks demonstrate that these solutions can be circumvented. Halcyon built features into our platform to enhance these solutions as well as provide novel protection against ransomware, and the specific TTPs that ransomware actors use.

School districts and educational institutions are undergoing a digital transformation with the widespread adoption of remote learning. Unfortunately, criminal ransomware groups have taken an interest in this shift to digital classrooms as well. Halcyon is proud to provide a free deployment of our Anti-Ransomware Platform including support free until February 2023 for all U.S. K-12 schools.
