Free Tool for Simulating Exfiltration and
Testing Existing Defenses Complements Expanded Ransomware
Prevention Feature Now Available for MDR and XDR Customers
Adlumin, the security operations command center that simplifies
complexity for organizations of all sizes, today announced a new
capability, Ransomware and Exfiltration Prevention, that quickly
detects and stops attackers from exfiltrating data. With the
majority of ransomware attackers now employing double-extortion
techniques where they threaten to steal and leak sensitive data in
addition to encrypting files until a ransom is paid, this new
capability disrupts these activities before they can escalate into
a full-blown attack.
In addition to this new capability, Adlumin also launched a free
tool that any organization can download to simulate data
exfiltration associated with a ransomware attack and test the
efficacy of their current defense.
Adding capabilities that stop data exfiltration strengthens
Adlumin’s Ransomware Prevention feature that already stops
ransomware encryption fast enough to save 99% of files. Together,
these capabilities provide a comprehensive defense that enables
organizations to stop ransomware gangs from both of the techniques
they use to disrupt and extort an organization.
“The ransomware threat has evolved and there are no longer many
attacks that rely on encryption alone. Since organizations have
implemented strategies like file backups to mitigate against
encryption, attackers have changed their tactics to include data
theft and using data in nefarious ways to extort their victims,”
said Robert Johnston, CEO and co-founder of Adlumin. “Ransomware
recovery is a lot easier when you take away an attacker’s leverage
– that’s why we’re giving our customers new tools to stop
exfiltration and encryption at the earliest stages.”
Adlumin’s Ransomware and Exfiltration Prevention works by
strategically placing decoy files to draw the attention of
malicious actors. The feature monitors these files and looks for
signs of encryption and/or data exfiltration and terminates the
process at its earliest signs.
Customers of Adlumin’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
service are already benefiting from its Ransomware Prevention
feature at no additional cost. Now, Extended Detection and Response
(XDR) customers that use Adlumin’s platform without MDR services
can also purchase Ransomware and Exfiltration Prevention as an
add-on to Adlumin’s cloud-based platform.
Adlumin’s new ransomware exfiltration simulator is the latest in
the company’s suite of tools that are freely available for any
organization to download and use. To measure your organization’s
effectiveness against ransomware exfiltration and/or encryption
