Cybereason Launches Advanced Ransomware Protection and Blocking

Cybereason today announced several critical additions to its military-grade, real-time detection and response platform, including the launch of the industry’s most advanced ransomware detection and blocking capabilities. In addition, the company introduced Attack Blocker, a new capability that shuts down threats on the endpoint in real time by blocking process execution and preventing network communication. The company also launched today its Linux Server Sensor and presented its Active Monitoring Service.

“What sets Cybereason apart from other endpoint software companies from my vantage point is their ability to rapidly detect complex cyber attacks that evade today's traditional defenses from anywhere in the world,” said Richard Rushing, CISO, Motorola Mobility. "No other company today has the ability to leverage big data, behavioral analytics and machine learning and turn that into a solution that is solving the cyber-security problem for Fortune 500 companies.”

“Cybereason continues to outsmart advanced hacking operations, being the first to introduce advanced ransomware blocking, targeting both known and unknown attacks,” said Yonatan Striem-Amit, CTO and co-founder of Cybereason. “With more enterprises being infected by ransomware, the ability to spot it in real time and immediately block it is critical for preventing damage.”

Striem-Amit added, “In addition, we are launching today our Active Monitoring Service, providing our customers with military-grade expertise to uncover sophisticated threats and eliminate them.”
