Ransomware Protection

Ransomware attacks have become an increasingly imposing threat to organizations. In most ransomware attacks, encryption restricts access to critical files, systems, and applications. This encryption process happens silently in the background.

Taking proactive measures against ransomware attacks helps safeguard your data and ensures the continuity of your operations. Each user’s behavior is monitored and fed in to a machine learning algorithm trained on an extensive dataset of attack flows. Via this monitoring CTERA Ransom Protect is able to detect and block ransomware attacks within seconds.

Key Features of CTERA Ransom Protect include:

• Real-time detection: Advanced machine learning algorithms identify behavioral anomalies suggesting fraudulent file activity, and block offending users within seconds.
• Zero-day protection: CTERA Ransom Protect does not rely on traditional signature update services.
• Incident management: An administrator dashboard provides real-time attack monitoring, comprehensive incident evidence logging and post-attack forensics.
• Instant recovery: Near-instant recovery of any affected files from snapshots.

In addition, CTERA Ransom Protect requires minimal configuration, requiring a single click to activate ransomware protection on the CTERA Edge Filer.
