HYCU adds advanced ransomware protection to backup protection | #ransomware | #cybercrime

Data management and protection firm HYCU has enhanced its offer to partners and end customers by integrating its R-Shield cyber resilience solution with Halcyon’s ransomware prevention and data exfiltration capabilities. 

“This represents a significant step forward in delivering complete ransomware resilience across detection, prevention, and recovery for our global partners and customers,” said channel-first HYCU.

HYCU R-Shield will now enable organisations to identify ransomware threats earlier, disrupt attacks before they spread, and recover quickly if, and when, incidents occur.

“True cyber resilience requires organisations to be ahead of threats at every stage, from early detection and active prevention through to fast, reliable recovery,” said Simon Taylor, founder and CEO of HYCU. “By integrating Halcyon’s prevention capabilities with R-Shield, we are delivering a single, more complete resilience model, one that gives customers the assurance that ransomware threats can be identified early, stopped wherever possible, and recovered from rapidly when they occur.”

The enhanced HYCU R-Cloud platform with R-Shield, with ransomware prevention powered by Halcyon, offers these capabilities:

-Detect: Identifies ransomware behaviour directly on endpoints and production workloads before backup data is impacted

-Prevent: Stops ransomware activity, including encryption and exfiltration attempts, reducing the number of attacks that can ever reach the backups

-Recover: Enables rapid, application-centric recovery across hybrid and multi-cloud environments

“Organisations today face a growing gap between their confidence in ransomware preparedness and the reality of modern attacks, especially as more data moves to the cloud,” said Jon Miller, CEO and co-founder of Halcyon. “Our partnership with HYCU extends Halcyon’s platform to protect these environments, delivering the resilience organisations need to prevent ransomware from running and to rapidly recover if an attack occurs.”
