Raz-Lee Security Inc announces the release of Anti-Ransomware, the first component of iSecurity ATP - a comprehensive advanced threat protection solution for defending IBM i IFS files against ransomware and other kinds of malware that may change and/or harm IBM i IFS files.

Ransomware and other similar malware have become a major risk to businesses worldwide. It encrypts data files, making them unusable until a sum of money is paid. Even when payment is made, there is no guarantee a proper decryption key will be provided. Ransomware attacks any file it can access including connected devices, mapped network drivers, shared local networks, and cloud storage services that are mapped to the infected computer. Ransomware doesn’t discriminate. It encrypts every data file that it has access to, including the IFS files, leaving organizations feeling paralyzed, exposed and without many options. “Raz-Lee is committed to providing solutions that protect IBM i shops from cyberthreats. We are very happy to offer our valuable customers protection for their IBM i against the increase in using malware as a means to extort money,” says Shmuel Zailer, CEO, Raz-Lee Security.

Raz-Lee Security’s iSecurity ATP is a unique solution that protects IBM i servers from malicious cyberattacks. The Anti-Ransomware module quickly detects high volume cyber threats deployed from an external source, isolates the threat, and prevents it from damaging valuable data that is stored on the IBM i while preserving performance.

Anti-Ransomware is designed to protect the system quickly and efficiently from known and unknown threats as soon as malicious activity is diagnosed, prior to the demand for a ransom. It suspends the attack, disconnects the intruder, and sends real-time alerts to SIEM as well as the offending computer. It classifies the dangers and determines the appropriate way to neutralize the problem based on the existing situation and the customer's preferences. Anti-Ransomware is updated every couple of hours with the most current ransomware definitions. The modules included in the launch of iSecurity ATP identify ransomware and similar malware activity in real-time and take the necessary measures to stop and report it. Raz-Lee’s Anti-Ransomware has been thoroughly tested to ensure its effectiveness and is now available and can be purchased from one of our certified business partners.
