Halcyon

Halcyon is a dedicated anti-ransomware platform that wraps behavioral detection, response automation, and expert services into a single deployment so security teams can contain extortion-focused campaigns before they trigger downtime or payments. The platform’s native Ransomware Detection and Recovery (RDR) service investigates every alert 24/7 via the Halcyon RISE team, interrupting active encryptors, coordinating response with the customer, and using captured key material plus a ransomware warranty to guarantee business continuity even if an attacker briefly succeeds. citeturn2search3turn2search6

Halcyon pairs agent telemetry with its Data Exfiltration Prevention (DXP) module to catch suspicious data flows, volumetric anomalies, or covert tunnels used in double-extortion playbooks, giving defenders early warning when actors attempt to move sensitive data prior to detonation. Because up to 80% of ransomware now involves data theft, the DXP engine watches endpoints, cloud file shares, VPN traffic, and known C2 destinations, ensuring teams can trigger containment long before criminals weaponize stolen records or leak sites. citeturn2search1turn2search5

Resilience extends down to the kernel with Tamper Guard, Last Gasp, and Kernel Guard, which block bring-your-own-vulnerable-driver (BYOVD) techniques, stop adversaries from killing security tools, and even export forensic data for rapid investigations. Enterprise Policy Management allows security admins and MSSPs to map granular detection, protection, or lockdown postures to asset groups while UX updates simplify webhooks, asset filters, and reporting, so Halcyon fits within existing SOC workflows instead of creating another silo. citeturn2search4turn2search6

A mature partner ecosystem amplifies the product’s reach: Pax8 now lists Halcyon in its marketplace so MSPs can deliver turnkey ransomware resilience, while Halcyon’s broader channel network has onboarded more than 70 partners and hundreds of thousands of endpoints in under two years. Strategic collaboration work, such as joining CISA’s Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC), signals Halcyon’s intention to share intelligence, align with national cyber programs, and keep its roadmap tuned to emerging attack tradecraft that targets critical infrastructure and the midmarket alike. citeturn2search2turn2search7turn2search0
