Product Expansion Bolsters Ransomware Resiliency by Giving Organizations an Early Warning and Significantly Reducing Exposure of Sensitive Data

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Halcyon, the leading platform designed from day one to defeat ransomware, today announced general availability of its Data Exfiltration Prevention (DXP) module for the Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Platform. Now, customers leveraging the platform can opt to rely on Halcyon to detect data exfiltration attempts, defend against data extortion attacks, and receive early detection of any threat actor activity across their networks - yielding true cyber resilience.

About 80% of ransomware attacks involve double extortion, in which sensitive data is exfiltrated prior to delivery of the ransomware payload, and is then used as added leverage to compel payment of a ransom demand. With the new Data Exfiltration Prevention capabilities of the Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Platform, organizations can proactively identify suspicious data movements that are often indicators that a ransomware attack is underway.

The Halcyon Data Exfiltration Prevention helps organizations address the “going dark problem” where attackers leverage tools like VPNs and concealed communication channels to hide their data exfiltration attempts from security teams.

“Defeating multi-stage attacks and avoiding the ‘going dark problem’ requires a multi-layered defense. Nearly all ransomware attacks now feature double extortion and the key to defeating them is recognizing suspicious data movement and disrupting the attack before it progresses,” said Jon Miller, CEO & Co-founder, Halcyon. “Our new DXP module equips businesses with the tools they need to become more ransomware resilient while also reducing potential legal and regulatory liability from data loss associated with ransomware attacks.”

Combined with the Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Platform, the Data Exfiltration Prevention capabilities offer first-of-its-kind detection and prevention from costly ransomware outcomes. Key benefits and features of DXP include:

  • Identification of suspicious data movements associated with ransomware campaigns across all endpoints.
  • Early warning that an attacker has made it past existing security controls.
  • Zero customer configuration or tuning needed out of the box.
  • Easy integration with modern EDRs for triage and investigation.
