What's New Halcyon? Data Exfiltration Prevention (DXP), Log/SSH Key Monitoring plus Linux Agent Early Access

What’s New:

Introducing the Early Access version of the Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Agent for Linux. This lightweight agent integrates multiple prevention engines and AI models to provide robust protection against ransomware attacks. Key features of this Linux agent include:

• Data Exfiltration Prevention (DXP): provides detection and blocking for suspicious and malicious data exfiltration attempts that accompany ransomware attacks. Through combining network and process behavior monitoring, threshold management, and network controls, DXP provides an additional line of defense against data extortion attempts. If data transfer exceeds a predefined threshold or a connection to a restricted IP/DNS is detected, the agent immediately flags the activity as suspicious and reports a detailed event in the console. This ensures that any anomalous behavior is quickly identified and addressed.

• Log Monitoring and SSH Key Monitoring Infrastructure: Provides the ability to monitor System Logs for any anomalous behavior. This feature will enable the HalcyonAR Agent to quickly detect failed or invalid login attempts and monitor RDP sessions.

Note: The Linux Agent Early Access version will be available to customers starting from this release.  If you have an inquiry about how to add Linux Agent, please reach out to your account executive or customer support team for more information.
