Behavioral Anomaly Detection
Detect ransomware activity through behavioral patterns — not just known signatures. Catch novel ransomware variants that evade traditional AV by identifying the behavior, not the malware.
Automated Ransomware Containment
Ransomware Hits. The Network Doesn't Have To.
When ransomware triggers, every second matters. The Ransomware Kill Switch automatically detects anomalous network behavior and isolates affected segments in seconds — not hours — stopping the spread before a single infection becomes a complete operational shutdown.
The Threat
Ransomware Spreads Faster Than Your Team Can Respond
Modern ransomware doesn't just encrypt one machine. It scans your network in seconds, identifies reachable devices, copies itself across every accessible path, and detonates simultaneously across your entire environment. By the time your SOC receives the first alert, the damage is done.
The most dangerous phase of any ransomware attack is not the initial infection — it's the lateral spread. An attacker who compromises a single workstation can reach your file servers, backup systems, industrial controllers, and clinical devices within minutes if your network isn't segmented.
Manual incident response cannot match this speed. The gap between "first alert" and "network isolated" measured in minutes or hours typically costs millions of dollars and days of downtime. Automated response is the only realistic option.
- Average ransomware lateral movement time: under 2 hours from initial compromise
- Over 70% of ransomware attacks target backups to eliminate recovery options
- IoT and OT devices are often the least protected — and most critical — targets
- Manufacturing, healthcare, and education are the top three ransomware targets
How It Works
Detect. Isolate. Kill. Recover.
-
Detect Anomalous Behavior
IoT Secure continuously monitors network behavior patterns. When a device begins exhibiting ransomware characteristics — mass file access, unusual port scanning, rapid lateral connections, encryption behavior — the system detects the anomaly in real time.
-
Trigger Automated Isolation
The moment anomalous behavior is confirmed, the Kill Switch automatically isolates the affected network segment. Infected devices are cut off from all other network zones — preventing spread to clean systems, backups, and critical infrastructure.
-
Surgical Quarantine
Network isolation is targeted, not network-wide. IoT Secure isolates the specific devices and segments showing infection indicators while keeping clean segments operational. Healthcare can maintain patient monitoring. Manufacturing can keep critical processes running.
-
Alert & Forensic Trail
Your security team receives immediate notification with full context: affected devices, network segments involved, communication patterns at time of detection, and timeline of events. A complete forensic audit trail is preserved for incident investigation.
-
Controlled Recovery
After remediation, restore network access for verified-clean devices in a controlled sequence. IoT Secure monitors recovery traffic for re-infection indicators and keeps the audit trail intact for regulatory reporting.
Key Capabilities
Containment at Machine Speed
Isolation in Seconds
Automated network isolation happens in seconds, not hours. The Kill Switch doesn't wait for a human to review an alert and approve an action — it acts immediately when thresholds are crossed.
Surgical Quarantine
Isolate only the affected segment — not your entire network. Keep clean systems, backup infrastructure, and critical operations running while the infected segment is contained.
Forensic Audit Trail
Every detection event, isolation action, and recovery step is logged with full timestamp and context. Generate incident reports for leadership, cyber insurance claims, and regulatory notifications.
Minutes vs. Hours
The Cost of Manual Response
Automated containment vs. waiting for a human to respond.
Research consistently shows that ransomware spreads across a network in under two hours from initial compromise. The average SOC takes significantly longer than that to investigate an alert, confirm it's not a false positive, escalate to the incident response team, and manually isolate affected systems.
The Ransomware Kill Switch closes this gap entirely. Behavioral detection triggers automatically. Isolation happens in seconds. Your team gets a notification with full context — not a race against the clock.
- Manual response average: 4-24 hours to full containment
- Automated Kill Switch: isolation in under 60 seconds
- Cost difference: potentially millions in recovery, downtime, and data loss
Don't let ransomware define your organization.
Automated detection and isolation. Before the spread becomes catastrophic.
