Kaseya Ransomware Protection
Miami, Florida, United States
What it is
Kaseya Ransomware Protection uses VSA 10 to monitor endpoint files for behavioral signs of crypto-ransomware. When it detects file encryption, it can alert administrators, isolate the endpoint from network connections other than those needed to reach VSA 10, and attempt to terminate suspected malicious processes. Policies can monitor all local drives or selected drives and paths, set exclusions, configure alert priority, and define responses, including an attempt to shut down an infected system. An isolated device can still reach VSA 10, allowing administrators to use VSA management features for remote triage and remediation. Kaseya says detection can work with its BCDR tools to restore an endpoint to a pre-attack state using backup snapshots. The monitor supports Windows 8.1 and later, but does not monitor network drives, removable drives, or USB mass-storage devices. Use requires an active VSA subscription, a Ransomware Detection license, an enabled policy, and a VSA 10 Agent on monitored endpoints that can communicate with the VSA instance. Pricing is available by request and customized to customer needs.
