What is Cyber Resilience?
A Technical Deep Dive
What's Inside?
From the proto-viruses of the 1970s like Creeper to full-blown cyber weapons like Stuxnet and the rise of nation-state Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups, the history of malware has continued to evolve from the moment computers were first networked together. For most of this history, viruses, and malware were used for experimentation, hacktivism, denial of resources, and espionage but as digital currencies like Bitcoin took off, so did the ultimate form of cybercrime: ransomware.
Ransomware is not new, it’s been splashed across the headlines of many news publications over the years. From NotPetya to LockBit and Conti, the cybersecurity industry has had to face a new and more motivated attacker leveraging advanced techniques, leaks of intelligence assets, and a persistent desire to extract money from victims.
Security tools like Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) rapidly had to shift from stopping commodity malware to defending against a new threat that could bring a victim organization down for days and weeks. Ransomware, unfortunately, is winning with 236,100,000 ransomware attacks globally in the first half of 2022.
Cybersecurity goes through continual cycles of innovation and stagnation and ransomware attackers know this well. Of the top 20 most actively tracked ransomware groups, the majority leverage bypasses and evasions to get around cybersecurity tools after they’ve gained entry to a network through an Initial Access Broker (IAB). Since ransomware can effectively stop a business from operating, as seen in the 2021 attack on Colonial Pipeline, it’s time for a new way to approach building cybersecurity programs.

Stop ransomware, prevent business downtime, and recover without backups.
Halcyon is the only cybersecurity company that eliminates the business impact of ransomware. Modern enterprises rely on Halcyon to prevent ransomware attacks, eradicating cybercriminals’ ability to encrypt systems, steal data, and extort companies. Backed by an industry-leading warranty, the Halcyon AntiRansomware Platform drastically reduces downtime, enabling organizations to quickly and easily recover from attacks without paying ransoms or relying on backups.
Together with Aliado Solutions, an IBM partner, Halcyon is changing the industry to reduce ransomware risk to zero.
Prevent, Recover, & Eliminate Ransomware Threats
Halcyon's ransomware prevention engine constantly examines each endpoint for ransomware attack precursors to stop it in real time. Additionally, our platform intercepts the encryption keys generated during an attack in order to automatically decrypt any impacted endpoints and protect the broader fleet. Never pay for a ransom or have to restore from backups again.
Supercharge Your Endpoint Controls
Modern endpoint controls are common targets for attackers to get around. Halcyon’s sidekick protection ensures your other investments in security are always communicating and never compromised.
Stop Double-Extortion & Data Loss
Ransomware attackers commonly siphon sensitive data off victim networks to hold for a second ransom, threatening to sell this data to the highest bidder or release it publicly. Halcyon's Data Exfiltration Protection (DXP) automatically prevents this from happening.
Gain Board Approval, Alignment, & Confidence
Shifts in legality have turned cyber into a top board concern. With executive leadership on the hook for an effective cybersecurity program, security teams turn to Halcyon to provide a truly resilient anti-ransomware program.
Testimonials
Halcyon was partially deployed against previously unseen ransomware. The threat actor had disabled our AV and EDR, but failed to execute on endpoints running Halcyon. We saw the attackers pivot to unprotected machines, but Halcyon’s services and keyless decryption helped us recover critical data in less than 24 hours. 99% of our data was recovered in under 48 hours.
Enterprise - Manufacturing (Q2 2023)
After recovering from a ransomware incident, we installed Halcyon as an additional security measure on our endpoints. During deployment, Halcyon quickly identified and blocked a Sunburst backdoor that was missed by all of our other (new and old) controls we had put in place.
Enterprise - Retail Distribution (Q3 2023)
We were compromised by an active ransomware group while searching for an anti-ransomware product. Our IR firm and MSSP both forecasted a long recovery. We tried Halcyon’s services and keyless decryption in a PoV and were able to recover critical systems and data (90% of files and 95% of infrastructure) within hours. We now have Halcyon deployed across our entire environment.
