Pondurance Launches RansomSnare to Block Ransomware at Encryption Attempt
Event summary
- Pondurance introduced RansomSnare, a new MDR module that halts ransomware attacks at the first sign of file encryption.
- The module prevents both file encryption and data exfiltration without relying on signatures or behavioral baselines.
- RansomSnare is available immediately for an annual licensing fee and included for free in new MDR packages during a limited-time promotion.
- Pondurance targets mid-market organizations, particularly in healthcare, financial services, and education.
The big picture
Pondurance's RansomSnare addresses a critical gap in ransomware defense, particularly for mid-market organizations that lack the resources of larger enterprises. With over 50% of mid-sized firms experiencing ransomware attacks in the past year, the module's ability to stop attacks at the encryption stage could significantly reduce recovery costs, which often exceed $1 million per incident. The launch underscores the growing need for proactive cybersecurity solutions in industries handling sensitive data.
