New Feature Provides Robust Defense Against Double-Extortion
Ransomware Tactics
Align, the premier global provider of technology infrastructure
solutions and Managed IT Services, announces today the addition of
a new exfiltration prevention feature to its Align Guardian Managed
Detection and Response offering, powered by Adlumin. This
cutting-edge innovation is designed to quickly detect and stop
attackers from exfiltrating data, providing a defense against
modern ransomware tactics that employ double-extortion
techniques.
The new ransomware and exfiltration prevention feature
complements Guardian's existing ransomware prevention capabilities,
which already stop ransomware encryption fast enough to save 99% of
files. This comprehensive approach now protects organizations from
both data encryption and theft, neutralizing the two primary
tactics used by ransomware gangs.
"In today's evolving threat landscape, cybercriminals are
constantly adapting their tactics. The addition of exfiltration
prevention to our Guardian solution demonstrates our commitment to
innovation and supporting our clients to stay ahead of these
threats," said Vinod Paul, President of Align Managed Services.
"For our clients in the alternative investment industry and beyond,
this enhanced protection is crucial in maintaining the security of
sensitive data."
The new feature works by strategically placing decoy files to
attract malicious actors. It then monitors these files for signs of
encryption or data exfiltration, terminating any suspicious
processes at the earliest stages. This proactive approach
significantly reduces the risk of successful ransomware attacks and
data breaches.
Align's Managed Services clients will automatically benefit from
this new feature at no additional cost.
