Compare CryptoSentry vs. iSecurity Field Encryption

CryptoSentry is a solution that effectively halts ransomware attacks. After being installed on your team’s devices, it continuously observes for any unusual encryption behaviors. Ransomware has emerged as one of the most rapidly expanding cyber threats in recent years, posing a serious risk to your organization unless you take proactive measures to halt the encryption of critical files before you become a victim. Headlines in the news regularly highlight the destructive aftermath of ransomware attacks, including those from notorious variants such as WannaCry, Petya, and others like CryptoWall, CryptoLocker, and Locky, all of which have severely impacted both productivity and financial resources. Given that ransomware specifically targets the availability of data, our CryptoSentry is engineered to block access to data, effectively preventing file encryption from occurring. With its installation on your employees’ devices, it remains vigilant in monitoring for any suspicious encryption activities. Should its sophisticated algorithms identify a potential threat, CryptoSentry will take immediate action to thwart file encryption, ensuring that your valuable data remains secure. This proactive approach can greatly reduce the risk of devastating ransomware incidents affecting your business.

iSecurity Field Encryption safeguards sensitive information through robust encryption methods, effective key management, and thorough auditing processes. The importance of encryption cannot be overstated, as it plays a crucial role in securing confidential data and facilitating adherence to various compliance standards such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and an array of other governmental and state privacy regulations. Ransomware poses a significant threat by targeting any accessible file, including those on connected devices, mapped network drives, local shared networks, and cloud storage that is linked to the compromised system. This type of malware operates indiscriminately, encrypting all data files within reach, including IFS files, thereby putting critical information at risk. To combat this, Anti-Ransomware technology swiftly identifies high-volume cyber threats that originate from external sources, effectively isolates them, and protects valuable data stored on the IBM i system while maintaining optimal performance levels. Thus, the deployment of such security measures is essential in today’s digital landscape to ensure the integrity and availability of sensitive information.
