Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Platform FAQ
Yes. Halcyon is purpose-built to detect ransomware and ransomware-related activity.
Halcyon can proactively block ransomware and ransomware activity, but in some cases we need to work with your internal security team to stop the threat. Response actions include isolating endpoints, killing ransomware processes, and blocking command-and-control (C2) communication.
No. Halcyon sits behind endpoint protection and EDR/XDR tools, which stop many, but not all, endpoint threats. Halcyon is designed to prevent ransomware threats that evade endpoint protection tools.
Yes, EDR tools can detect ransomware. However, EDR tools are generalists designed to prevent a very wide range of threats. Attackers have found ways to bypass endpoint controls and have developed a range of stealthy tactics to evade and disable endpoint solutions. Halcyon is a specialist that provides an additional security layer that is purpose-built to stop the ransomware that otherwise would go unchecked.
No. Backup and recovery solutions are still an essential component of your IT and security strategy. Halcyon is designed to prevent and recover from ransomware attacks without having to rely on backups. This speeds up recovery to a matter of hours as opposed to weeks.
No. Alerts generated by Halcyon first go to our included 24/7 team of experts. They will investigate and respond to the alert on your behalf. You will only be notified when we find a confirmed threat or need to collaborate with you on the response.
The Halcyon Ransomware Detection and Recovery (RDR) team is a 24x7 service comprised of some of the world’s leading ransomware experts. They do all the heavy lifting for you – investigating alerts, responding to threats, and leading the recovery effort if you are impacted by ransomware. This is included in the Halcyon platform at no additional charge.
Halcyon includes a Ransomware Warranty. If a ransomware attack succeeds despite Halcyon’s protection, the warranty provides expert-led incident response and recovery services, which will step in to contain and remediate the attack—no third-party services required.
