BENEFITS

Effective Protection – Without Overhead

Preventing Ransomware
  • Prevents Data Access
    Ransomware continues to evade EDR.  Layered capabilities that protect the data itself prevent ransomware from accessing or infecting the data.
  • Protection without Disruption 
    Users are not disrupted with security seamlessly incorporated within their experience with AI to ensure security posture with minimal impact.
  • Set and Forget
    Protects data without oversight. Layered capabilities protect without the need for supervision or frequent remediation. 

ISSUE

Detect and Respond is
Insufficient

Malicious actors continue to innovate and circumvent current endpoint security measures. The statistics are disturbing: ransomware and other endpoint malware remain significant threats. Despite considerable improvements in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities, adversaries are continuously advancing, increasing the volume and sophistication of their attacks, and employing "land and expand" tactics. EDR will face further challenges due to the widespread adoption of AI technology by attackers. AI enables adversaries to evolve their models more rapidly, enhance targeting in phishing attacks, and accelerate the frequency of their attacks. It only takes one successful attack to cause significant damage.

Capabilities

Reset the Paradigm:
PROTECT Data Itself

Cigent's combination of patented technologies was developed to prevent data tampering even when a device has been compromised. The foundation is zero-trust data access controls – a simple but effective approach to stopping ransomware from infecting files.

 

Zero-trust Access Control

Zero-trust Access Control

Limites exposure.

  • Trust, but verified, policy-driven MFA access control –files remain protected from unauthorized access.
  • Always-on or risk-based policy enforcement.
  • Integrations with all major authentication solutions.

Hidden Drives

Undetectable Drives

Data is hidden.

  • Data stored in protected folders is completely invisible to malware, unauthorized users, and alternate operating systems.
  • Data is unreadable at the sector level even after logging on until unlocked using step-up authentication.
  • Protected data cannot be encrypted, cloned or wiped.

AI Secured Storage

AI Threat Detection and Automated Response

Instantly protects preventing compromise.

  • AI capability monitors data itself for anomalous access patterns.
  • Integrations with EDR, SIEM, and SOC provides additional threat telemetry.
  • Upon compromise detection, automatically raises threat level making encrypted drives and partitions inaccessible.  Users remain productive during threats, no need to isolate or disconnect.

Unlike traditional methods, Cigent’s patented erase verification proved superior to simple crypto erase, aiming for NSA approval. This unique capability allowed the Navy to repurpose drives confidently, knowing that sensitive data had been securely erased.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions and concerns about our products, implementation, and support.

What is ransomware and how does it affect my business?

Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system or data until a sum of money is paid. For businesses, this can lead to significant disruptions, loss of data, and financial losses. Ransomware can spread through phishing emails, malicious advertisements, or vulnerabilities in software and systems.

How can Cigent help protect my business from ransomware attacks?

Cigent specializes in cybersecurity solutions that protect against ransomware by using advanced threat detection, secure data encryption, and real-time monitoring. Our tools are designed to prevent unauthorized access and to detect suspicious activities early before they can cause harm.

What steps should I take immediately if I suspect a ransomware attack on my network?

If you suspect a ransomware attack, immediately disconnect the affected systems from your network to prevent the spread of the malware. Do not pay the ransom as it does not guarantee data recovery and could potentially fund further criminal activity. Contact Cigent's cybersecurity support team for immediate assistance to secure your systems and begin the recovery process.

Can Cigent help recover data that has been encrypted by ransomware?

While Cigent provides robust solutions to prevent ransomware attacks, recovery of encrypted data can be challenging. Our focus is primarily on proactive measures and resilience strategies to minimize the risk and impact of ransomware.

What are the best practices for ransomware prevention that Cigent recommends?

Cigent recommends implementing a multi-layered security approach including regular software updates, comprehensive backup strategies, employee training on phishing awareness, and the use of advanced security solutions like those we offer. Regular risk assessments and security audits are also crucial in identifying and mitigating potential vulnerabilities.
