Adlumin, a security operations platform, announced a new ransomware prevention feature that detects and stops ransomware from encrypting files.
The feature is called Adlumin Ransomware Protection, which kills ransomware in seconds and saves 99% of files from encryption in the event of a ransomware attack, according to the company. The 99% figure is based on testing against ransomware groups, including Black Basta, Conti, Ryuk, and NoEscapeLocker, among others.
This feature is focused on speed, with Adlumin detecting and killing ransomware as part of an added layer of protection to help stop ransomware threats at organizations that rely on Adlumin for Managed Detection and Response.
The new feature adds capabilities that enable Adlumin and its partners to provide comprehensive ransomware defense that can block ransomware, quickly kill ransomware that’s executed, take automated responsive actions to contain an attack and assist with recovery.
Adlumin’s Ransomware Protection feature is now automatically enabled for all customers of Adlumin’s Managed Detection and Response services.
Adlumin also announced a free ransomware simulation tool that allows any organization to test its ransomware defenses.
The self-service tool deploys mock-up data and files onto an organization’s systems, launches a ransomware attack against them, and then provides a grade that details how well the organization’s defenses performed. The synthetic attack is isolated to the mock-up files, which the tool then cleans from the file system to remove all traces of the test.
