Halcyon
announced a strategic partnership with Pax8, aiming to enhance market
outreach and fortify businesses against the ever-growing threat of
ransomware. This alliance now includes the cutting-edge Halcyon
Anti-Ransomware Platform as part of Pax8’s innovative technology
Marketplace, empowering partners and their customers of all sizes with
robust security solutions.
“Halcyon is designed to seamlessly integrate with other Pax8 Marketplace
vendors, addressing the critical security gap posed by ransomware,”
said Chris Catanzaro, VP of Global MSSP and Channels at Halcyon. “Our
strategic partnership with Pax8 will provide operational resilience to
partners and their customers, ensuring swift recovery in the face of a
ransomware attack.”
The Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Platform offers unparalleled protection,
insulating organizations from ransomware attacks that often evade
existing security measures. It is the only platform designed to fight
ransomware from attack initiation to extortion. Key features include:
-
Key Material Capture: Automatically captures the key material
during a ransomware encryption event, enabling the swift recovery of any
encrypted data. -
Automated Decryption: This process triggers the automated
decryption of data encrypted during a ransomware attack, eliminating the
need for manual-intensive restoration from backups to swiftly return
business operations to normal. -
Data Exfiltration Prevention (DXP): Ransomware-tuned data
protection that automatically detects and blocks attempts to exfiltrate
data by analyzing suspicious IPS, DNS activity, and volume thresholds.
DXP prevents data extortion attempts and blocks threat actors from
carrying out “double extortion” tactics.
“We are thrilled to have award-winning Halcyon join the Pax8 Marketplace
with this much-needed anti-ransomware platform for our partners,” said
Ryan Burton, VP of Marketplace Vendor Strategy at Pax8. “The fact that
Halcyon combines multiple advanced prevention engines, key interception,
automated recovery, and enhanced 3rd party security controls protection
all in one platform makes it a game-changer for Pax8 partners to
protect their end-user customers at an even higher level.”
