Data transfers target known ransomware command-and-control (C2) infrastructure.
Protect against Data Exfiltration and Double Extortion Attempts
Halcyon Data Exfiltration Protection (DXP) acts as an early warning system alerting you of active attackers in your environment yet to be caught by other security tools.
We disrupt ransomware attackers' attempts to steal your data before encryption, safeguarding your organization from double extortion and other fallout. Halcyon DXP is an optional add-on module available for the Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Platform.

The Challenges of
Detecting Data Exfiltration
The stealthy nature of ransomware-initiated data exfiltration presents a unique challenge that makes detection especially difficult for security teams.
Data Theft Happens Early
Modern ransomware operators often exfiltrate data in the early stages of an attack before encryption begins—making it harder to detect and respond in time.
Limited Visibility into Network Behavior
Security tools may struggle to detect subtle exfiltration techniques, especially when attackers use encrypted or covert transfer methods to avoid detection.
High Risk of Compliance Violations and Reputational Damage
Stolen data can trigger regulatory penalties, legal action, and reputational damage, even if the encryption portion of the attack is mitigated.
Halcyon DXP takes on these challenges head-on, reducing the risk that your company’s and customers’ sensitive data will ever be used against you during a ransomware attack.
How We Detect Ransomware
Data Exfiltration
Halcyon DXP monitors all outbound data flows within your organization, automatically detecting anomalous data movement and transfers associated with ransomware attacks.
DXP delivers real-time alerts when:
Unusual volumes of data movement are detected, indicative of
exfiltration attempts.
Unauthorized or suspicious data exfiltration methods are attempted, such as cloud tunneling, FTP/SFTP, unauthorized file-sharing services, email leakage, Rclone usage, RDP abuse, or DNS-based covert channels.
The Benefits
Eliminate Double Extortion Tactics
By stopping data theft before it happens, we disrupt the ransomware playbook and eliminate the leverage attackers use to demand payment.
Reduce Compliance
and Legal Risk
Preventing sensitive data loss helps organizations avoid costly fines, lawsuits, and regulatory investigations.
Strengthen Overall Security Posture
Provide deep visibility into exfiltration behaviors, enabling teams to identify misconfigurations and gaps in defenses faster.
With Halcyon, your data stays where it belongs—safe, secure, and out of attackers’ hands.
That means an expensive ransom demand never reaches your bottom line.
