Halcyon
Anti-ransomware protection platform
Key Features
24/7 Ransomware Detection & Recovery
The built-in Ransomware Detection and Recovery (RDR) service supplies always-on monitoring from the Halcyon RISE specialists, triages every alert, and orchestrates remediation without extra licensing fees. citeturn2search3
Data Exfiltration Prevention (DXP)
DXP correlates volumetric thresholds, suspicious peer destinations, and covert tunnels to stop double-extortion data theft before encryption begins, acting as an early-warning sensor across endpoints and networks. citeturn2search1turn2search5
Kernel Guard & Tamper Defense
Kernel Guard defeats bring-your-own-vulnerable-driver exploits while Tamper Guard and Last Gasp keep adversaries from disabling defense layers, preserving visibility through destructive stages. citeturn2search6turn2search4
Key Capture & Rapid Decryption
Halcyon agents capture ransomware key material in real time, enabling automated decryption and recovery so teams can restore systems without paying ransoms or relying solely on backups. citeturn2search6turn2search3
Granular Policy & Workflow Automation
Enterprise Policy Management assigns tailored detection, protection, and lockdown modes to asset groups, while updated webhooks and reporting exports streamline SOC runbooks. citeturn2search4
Channel & Marketplace Ecosystem
Availability through Pax8 and an expanded partner program lets MSPs and VARs deliver Halcyon quickly to hundreds of thousands of endpoints, accelerating time-to-value for shared customers. citeturn2search2turn2search7

Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike general-purpose EDR or XDR suites that prioritize broad threat categories, Halcyon is purpose-built for ransomware kill chains. The platform layers behavioral detection across every major attack stage—from initial access to encryption—then augments it with a dedicated Ransomware Detection and Recovery (RDR) team that triages every alert around the clock. That team can remotely disrupt active encryptors, coordinate live response with your SOC, and leverage captured key material for rapid rollback, so even a successful detonation does not equate to downtime or ransom payments. Halcyon also bakes in safeguards such as Tamper Guard, Last Gasp, and DXP, creating depth in case adversaries bypass other endpoint agents. This specialization, plus the ransomware warranty, lets organizations add premium ransomware expertise without displacing their existing EDR/XDR investments. citeturn2search3turn2search6turn2search5
About 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. citeturn2search3turn2search6
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. citeturn2search1turn2search5
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. citeturn2search4turn2search6
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. citeturn2search2turn2search7turn2search0
