Halcyon

Halcyon is a cyber resilience platform that thwarts and recovers from ransomware attacks. It's geared for Global 2000 companies, meaning it's designed to withstand ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) attacks.

The company's platform uses multiple layers of protection to stop data exfiltration and minimize recovery downtime. Among its features:

• Automated Recovery: Halcyon identifies and decrypts ransomware-created encryption keys so you can restore your systems quickly without paying a ransom.
• Prevention and Detection: AI/ML models trained on millions of ransomware tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to identify and stop attacks.
• Data Exfiltration Protection: Engine to stop data extortion attacks.
• Endpoint Protection: Stops endpoint tampering and backup destruction.

Halcyon also offers features to protect other security tools from tampering or bypassing, so critical security controls continue to function during an attack.

Halcyon's approach is designed to recover from ransomware attacks as well as prevent them, making it a good choice for organizations that want to minimize the disruption caused by ransomware. The company's platform can recover affected systems in minutes, which is a big selling point for businesses that want to minimize downtime and financial losses.

The company doesn't reveal pricing, but its product is designed for large companies, so it's likely to be expensive. But given the financial and business disruption caused by ransomware attacks, it could be worth it for companies that can't afford to have their operations halted for days or weeks.

Halcyon is good for companies that need a serious anti-ransomware product that can stop attacks and restore systems quickly if an attack succeeds. Its features make it a good fit for businesses that have a lot of data and where downtime is particularly costly, such as finance, health care and logistics.
