"With ransomware attacks continuing to deliver devastating
impacts to companies, it's not enough to have traditional
protection practices as your sole line of defense," said
John A. Stewart, Vice President, IT
Sales and Strategy, Ricoh USA,
Inc. "Ricoh's RansomCare is a vital element to an overall in-depth
defense security strategy and acts as a last line of defense to
stop an attack in near real-time, thus mitigating the impact and
cost of a full attack for what is a fraction of what a ransom
and/or downtime could cost."
Capable of infecting up to 10,000 files per minute per infected
device, ransomware is a form of malicious software, or malware,
that encrypts files and documents, and holds computers and data
files hostage, drastically impacting downtime, contributing to data
loss, locking down entire networks and bringing business to a halt.
RansomCare provides peace of mind that business data is protected
from cyberattack with advanced, integrated tools for comprehensive
data protection, including:
- Active file monitoring to detect known and unknown
ransomware variants and immediately alert security administrators
of threats;
- Quick response to infected devices to halt illegitimate
encryption, preventing mass spreading to files and reducing risk of
expensive recovery efforts;
- Informed recovery of impacted files, simplifying
backup restoration and logging attack details for additional
insight;
- Detailed reporting, including exact time of attack,
compromised users and devices, affected files and owners, and
easily exported incident reporting for key stakeholders and data
authorities.
Ricoh's RansomCare, powered by Bullwall, monitors networks in
near real time using multiple detection tactics to instantly detect
the tell-tale signs that ransomware is at work. RansomCare responds
by isolating and quarantining the compromised user and quickly
identifying encrypted files to restore them from backup while
automating any necessary incident reporting.
RansomCare complements existing endpoint protection platforms,
and endpoint detection and response tools. RansomCare is easy to
implement, with no discernable impact on network performance;
requires no local agents or server applications; integrates
seamlessly into existing security applications; offers built-in
multi-alerting services to keep users apprised of risks; and
details exact files that require attention or restoration for
security system administrators.
