Ransomware Resilience & Instant Recovery

Ransomware isn't just a malware problem—it’s an Identity and Data problem. Attackers compromise a credential, move laterally through Active Directory, and encrypt your file servers. Actonix provides a multi-layered defense that identifies early-stage lateral movement and uses automated "Kill Switches" to stop mass encryption before it can finish.

​

🛡️ PHASE 1: PREVENT (Harden the Attack Surface)

​

The best way to survive ransomware is to never let it execute. Actonix minimizes the "blast radius" by cleaning up your environment.

​

• Over-Privileged Account Cleanup: Identify and revoke "Shadow Admin" rights and excessive permissions that ransomware uses to spread.

• Inactive Account Deactivation: Automatically disable stale accounts (contractors, former employees) that act as easy entry points for attackers.

• Open Share Discovery: Scan your Windows File Servers and OneDrive to find globally accessible sensitive data and lock it down with one click.

​

🔍 PHASE 2: DETECT (Real-Time Threat Intelligence)

​

Actonix doesn't just look for file extensions; it monitors behavioral intent.

​

• Mass Encryption Kill-Switch: Using Actonix Endpoint Intelligence (AEI), we detect the "Encryption Signature"—high-frequency file renaming and modified headers—and instantly isolate the source endpoint.

• Failed Read Monitoring: A sudden spike in "Access Denied" or failed file reads across the network is a classic sign of a ransomware crawler. Actonix flags this in real-time.

• Behavioral Baselines: Our engine learns what "normal" data access looks like for every user. If a marketing manager suddenly tries to access 500 HR files at 3:00 AM, Actonix triggers an automatic lockout.

​

⚡ PHASE 3: RESPOND (Automated Containment)

​

Seconds save millions. Actonix automates the response so you don't have to wait for an admin to wake up.

• Automated Script Execution: When a ransomware threshold is hit, Actonix can automatically execute a PowerShell script to shut down a server, disable a user, or kill a specific process.

• Endpoint Isolation: AEI can "quarantine" an infected laptop from the rest of the network while maintaining a secure management tunnel for your security team to investigate.

​

🕒 PHASE 4: RECOVER (Forensic Time Travel)

​

Traditional backups take days to restore. Actonix uses High-Scale Forensic Intelligence to get you back online faster.

​

• Time-Travel Forensics : Our data lake allows you to "query the past." Use SQL to see exactly which files were modified between 09:01 and 09:05, allowing for a surgical restoration instead of a full-system wipe.

• Root Cause Analysis: Map every incident to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Understand how the attacker got in (e.g., Phishing) and how they moved (e.g., Kerberoasting) so you can close the hole forever.
