Adlumin Kills Ransomware in Seconds With New Feature That Saves 99% of Files From Encryption
/in Press Releases/by Ellen LoughlinAlongside New Ransomware Prevention Feature, Free Ransomware Simulation Tool Gives Any Organization the Capability to Easily Test Ransomware Defenses
WASHINGTON – April 2, 2024 – Adlumin, the security operations command center that simplifies complexity for organizations of all sizes, today announced a new Ransomware Prevention feature that immediately detects and stops ransomware from encrypting files. In benchmark tests against malware from some of the world’s most notorious ransomware groups including Black Basta, Conti, Ryuk, NoEscapeLocker and others, Adlumin Ransomware Prevention saved, on average, 99% of the file system from encryption.
In addition, the company unveiled a free Ransomware Simulation Tool that gives organizations a self-service option to easily test and understand their vulnerability to a ransomware attack.
The threat posed by ransomware and the success of ransomware gangs climbed to new heights in 2023 with payments exceeding $1 billion for the first time. Beyond the financial impact, Ransomware has also been responsible for attacks that crippled essential services from healthcare facilities, financial institutions, local government and more, and disrupted lives and operations in every other sector of the economy.
The speed with which Adlumin detects and kills ransomware provides an added layer of protection to help stop ransomware threats at organizations that rely on Adlumin for Managed Detection and Response (MDR). This new feature adds capabilities that enable Adlumin and its partners to provide a comprehensive ransomware defense that can block ransomware, quickly kill ransomware that’s executed, take automated responsive actions to contain an attack, and assist with recovery.
“Traditional endpoint and antivirus solutions are focused on detection, but not resiliency. They strain system resources and have high rates of false positives, and by the time they act, a majority of the file system is already encrypted,” said Robert Johnston, CEO and co-founder of Adlumin. “When combatting ransomware, speed is the most important factor. Our lightweight solution is accurate and fast so we can shut down a ransomware attack in seconds.”
Adlumin’s free Ransomware Simulation Tool is a complementary offering that enables any organization to test their ransomware defenses. This self-service tool deploys mock-up data and files onto an organization’s systems, launches a ransomware attack against them, and provides a grade that details how well the organization’s defenses performed. This synthetic attack is isolated to the mock-up files, which the Adlumin tool then cleans from the file system to remove all traces of the test.

Adlumin’s Ransomware Prevention feature is now automatically enabled for all customers of Adlumin’s Managed Detection and Response services. For more information on how Adlumin MDR can keep your organization secure, visit: https://adlumin.com/platform/mdr-security/

WASHINGTON – November 15, 2023 – Adlumin, the security operations platform and managed detection and response (MDR) provider keeping mid-market organizations secure, today announced that it hired Jessvin Thomas as its first chief product officer (CPO). With more than two decades of experience scaling cybersecurity teams, products and managed service offerings at organizations including Barracuda Networks, Optiv and Blackstone Group, Thomas will lead Adlumin’s product and services teams to continue developing innovative offerings that solve critical security needs for its customers and channel partners.

As part of his new role, he’ll apply these concepts towards advancing Adlumin’s mission of helping mid-market companies protect themselves and improve their security capabilities.
Before founding Cyber iSight, Thomas was senior vice president and chief technology officer at Barracuda SKOUT Managed XDR. Thomas joined Barracuda Networks in 2021 after its acquisition of SKOUT Secure Intelligence, where he was President and CTO and led the company through the successful acquisition and integration with Barracuda. Before SKOUT, Thomas held leadership roles at Optiv including VP and GM of managed security services, and VP and GM of next generation security orchestration analytics. He was also VP at The Blackstone Group where he implemented world class security operations for the company, developed repeatable programs to extend to Blackstone’s portfolio of companies, and helped identify seed and Series A investment opportunities in technology startups.
Thomas joins Adlumin following several major milestones, including the close of a $70 million funding round that will enable the company to accelerate its aggressive growth. The company was also recently ranked among the top 10% of America’s fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine, earned a spot on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, and was named to The Information’s 50 Most Promising Startups list for 2023.
