RansomShield — Standalone product presentation

Keep the warning, decision and recovery together.*
When important files suddenly change, your team needs more than a warning light. You need to see what happened, decide how to respond, and know what can be recovered. RansomShield brings those steps into its own security workspace. Local agents report from your selected computers and servers, while your team investigates incidents, controls supported protective actions, and follows the recovery record. The goal is clear: help protect the work your business depends on.

What gets installed?*
We begin with the devices and data you want covered. RansomShield agents run on supported Linux and Windows configurations. They collect the file, process, network and DNS observations selected for that device. A control plane receives the evidence for your company, and your team uses the desktop or web console to review it. Setup defines who can connect, what information is collected, and which actions need their own approval.

Your protected devices, in one view.
Start with the overview. Your computers and servers appear in the inventory, alongside their latest reporting time and their declared capabilities. Open a device to inspect the sources behind those reports. You can move from that fleet picture to incidents, data movement, recovery and alert delivery. This gives an owner or an operator a practical starting point, without having to read a stream of technical logs.

A suspicious file pattern becomes an alert.*
Now imagine a process changing many business files in a short time. RansomShield looks at the supported observations and brings suspicious patterns into an incident. Watch the warning appear, then open it to see the device, the timing and the available source details. File patterns give the team something concrete to investigate when the cause is not yet known. A warning is the start of that investigation, with the original observations kept available for review.

Follow the evidence behind the warning.*
The incident gives the team a connected record to work through. File activity, available process information, recorded command activity and related network observations can be reviewed from their own sources. Filters help narrow the investigation to the relevant device or pattern. Device reports are signed before delivery. The timeline keeps source times and reported results together, and the original record remains available. That makes a handover much clearer: the next person can see the evidence behind the decision.

A precise protective response.*
When a supported protective action is needed, the response stays specific. The team reviews the exact device, process or file-operation scope, together with the permitted duration. Local policy is checked before the action proceeds. Depending on the supported configuration, that can mean pausing a selected process or applying an agreed file-operation guard. The console keeps the request and its reported effect together. Reversing or continuing a change is a separately controlled step.

Investigate data leaving the device.*
Data theft may begin with an unexpected destination, an unusual upload, or smaller transfers repeated over time. The Data movement view brings the available network observations into a reviewable list. Select a destination, inspect the source and timing, and open the related record. A request to send data is kept separate from proof that somebody received it. That distinction helps your team make a deliberate decision about suspicious movement.

Let legitimate sharing follow a clear rule.*
Legitimate work still needs to move. Protected export provides a controlled workflow for supported transfers, including selected HTTPS and SFTP routes. Review the prepared file, destination, purpose and expiry. Sensitive-content rules and supported archive inspection apply within defined limits, with incomplete checks kept visible. One approved export does not open a general route for every file. The record follows whether that specific release was refused, attempted, reported or uncertain.

Recover from a selected pre-incident point.*
Recovery starts with choosing the right source. A recovery point is selected from before the incident and checked against the agreed target and its recorded state. A separate copy preserves the damaged or suspect state for investigation. The authorized workflow then restores only the agreed scope and checks the reported result. Supported recovery depends on the device and filesystem profile. The team follows those steps in the recovery workspace, with the evidence retained alongside the operation.

Keep control when recovery needs a pause.*
A long operation may need to stop, continue from a checkpoint, or undo a supported change. RansomShield keeps that continuation tied to the earlier operation and its preserved evidence. The next step requires fresh, specific authorization. The team can review what has completed, what remains, and what still needs checking. This makes recovery a supervised process, rather than a single button that hides the decisions underneath.

Know when monitoring needs attention.*
Your team also needs to know when the protection picture is incomplete. Protection coverage separates a device checking in from its sensors actually reporting. A stopped source, an old observation or a delivery interruption stays visible. The operator can open the device and inspect the reported gap. That helps the team notice a monitoring problem before treating an empty incident list as a reason to stop paying attention.

Get the warning to the right people.*
Alerts need an agreed route and a clear follow-up. RansomShield records delivery attempts, provider responses and operator review separately. Your notification policy defines the selected channels and escalation rules. An acknowledgement records that the notification was reviewed; the underlying incident keeps its own resolution process. Management audit and retained history help the team understand who changed a route, what was retried, and what still needs attention.

Give each person the access they need.*
Your company has its own workspace and access rules. Viewer, analyst and administrator roles separate reading evidence from managing team access and policy. Credentials can expire, be replaced or be revoked. Reading an alert, enrolling an endpoint and authorizing a protective action remain different responsibilities. This lets you bring the right people into an investigation while keeping broader control with the people and systems you have authorized.

Keep the product and its records under control.*
The product includes the operating work around an incident: enrolling devices, checking source health, applying supported updates and following rollback or restart records. Retained history can be queried and exported for investigation and handover. Access management has its own audit trail, and the incident retains its original source records. Device scope, privacy settings, lifecycle permissions and the level of deployment assistance are agreed as part of your rollout.

RansomShield, from first warning to recovery.*
For a business owner, the benefit is a clearer view of a serious problem. For an operator, it is a connected path from the warning to the evidence, the authorized response and the recovery record. RansomShield can be scoped for a selected group of devices or a wider fleet. We agree supported configurations, installation help, update coverage, support and commercial terms before rollout. RansomShield is developed by Governor Technologies in Canada.
