Fortified anti-ransomware capabilities

Ransomware is a multi-billion dollar menace, and it's no secret it can bring your clients' businesses to their knees. It infiltrates systems silently, bypassing traditional defenses, and leaving MSPs to deal with the ensuing vulnerabilities and client impact. As an MSP, you know that one click is all it takes to unleash chaos and cripple operations.

Endpoint Central MSP's Anti-ransomware feature is built specifically to thwart ransomware attacks before they wreak havoc on your clients. It leverages cutting-edge, AI-powered behavior detection to instantly identify and neutralize suspicious activities across the entire network, giving you and your clients peace of mind.

Behavior detection engine

Traditional signature-based detection cannot keep up with the evolution of ransomware. That is why our Anti-ransomware feature uses advanced behavioral detection.

How it works:

ML-powered anomaly detection:

Anti-ransomware leverages ML algorithms to analyze program behavior in real time. This allows it to identify deviations from established baselines that can potentially indicate ransomware activity, even for unknown strains.

Process-level monitoring:

Our tool keeps a close eye on processes for suspicious activities, such as:

  • Unsanctioned file encryption attempts, especially mass encryption events.
  • Unauthorized access or modification of critical system files.

Real-time alerting and mitigation:

Upon detecting anomalies, the tool triggers immediate alerts for investigation and potential containment actions.

Proactive protection:

Mitigates zero-day ransomware attacks by focusing on suspicious behaviors rather than relying on known signatures.

Enhanced security posture:

Provides a layered defense for your clients, complementing traditional antivirus with sophisticated behavioral analysis.

Reduced response time:

Rapid identification and containment of ransomware incidents significantly minimizes potential data loss and downtime for your clients.

Device quarantine and incident analysis

Typical security tools might raise the alarm after a ransomware attack, but they often leave you in the dark about where it began. Anti-ransomware sheds light on this critical aspect, combining deep forensics with actionable threat intelligence. This means you can effectively respond to the current incident and better protect your clients from future threats.

Advanced endpoint forensics

With the Anti-ransomware feature, dig deep into your clients' infected endpoints to meticulously analyze system logs, memory dumps, and registry entries to identify:

  • Suspicious file downloads or executions that may have introduced the ransomware.
  • Exploited vulnerabilities in specific software.
  • User activities that might have triggered the infection, like clicking malicious email links.

In-depth Indicator of Compromise (IoC) Analysis

Anti-Ransomware incorporates threat intelligence feeds to identify IoCs associated with known ransomware variants. This includes:

  • Hashes of malicious files.
  • URLs used for malware distribution.

Single-click recovery

Ransomware thrives on speed and familiarity. The longer it goes undetected, the more damage it inflicts. Additionally, attackers often target previously compromised environments because they believe security protocols might be lax. Our seamless mitigation capabilities ensure a swift and decisive response with a unique focus on remembering past threats to prevent repeat offenders.

Automated threat containment

Upon ransomware detection, our solution triggers automated actions to contain the threat, and process termination to stop the ransomware process in its tracks.

Immediate alerts and network isolation

Endpoint Central MSP provides immediate alerts to security teams on suspicious activity so they can isolate the infected device, minimizing the risk of lateral movement.

Intelligent behavioral pattern recognition

Go beyond simple blocklists, analyzing program behavior for suspicious activities, even if the ransomware code is disguised or mutated. This advanced capability helps track malicious users who persistently violate rules, even if they have tried to change their digital appearance.

Repeat offender defense

When a program exhibits the characteristic behaviors linked to previously encountered ransomware, the system recognizes it as a high-risk threat. This triggers an immediate and aggressive mitigation strategy:

  • Instantaneous process termination:

    The malicious process is shut down immediately, preventing further damage to your client's data.

  • Automatic rollback initiation:

    Predefined backups are leveraged to automatically restore affected systems to a clean state, minimizing data loss and downtime for your clients.

Success stories

"Reliable for managing multiple clients' devices with good support. Great amount of features for a price [such as] comprehensive device management, strong automated patching features, and a centralized dashboard, [plus] good integration features with other ManageEngine core products such as Service Desk Plus MSP."
