May 10, 2023 BullWall Launches Ransomware Kill Switch

Field proven to block ransomware from data sources in seconds, disable “patient zero” ransomware carriers in European market success.

BullWall is bringing its ransomware containment kill switch, Ransom Care, to the North American market. Ransom Care is widely used in European mission-critical environments such as healthcare, education, government and critical infrastructure enterprises, and is deployed as a last line of defense, that blocks ransomware from data sources in seconds and disables “patient zero” ransomware carriers.

It continuously monitors file shares, application servers and database servers in the cloud and in the data center, preventing server data encryption within seconds and thwarting attempts to encrypt and/or exfiltrate data.

Chris Byrne, Director at Avoira, said: “We’ve seen time and again that ransomware breaks through endpoint and AV defenses, and directly targets file share resources. Once it breaks through, every second counts and the network is often seized within mere minutes. BullWall shuts down ransomware attacks in under ten seconds – remarkable, but true!”

“Ransomware is capable of infecting up to 25,000 files per minute per infected device, and in the U.S. alone there were over 217 million attacks in 2022 according to Statistica, making the U.S. the most targeted country in the world. The ability to detect and contain the outbreak within seconds is a game changer. We believe that our solutions make a real difference in the fight against cyber threats,” said Steve Hahn, EVP of Americas at BullWall. “We are excited to bring our expertise to North America and help businesses protect themselves against the growing number of threats they face every day.”
