Ransomware remains one of the most persistent and devastating threats to organisations worldwide. As cyber criminals continue to refine their tactics, businesses need more than just prevention, they need a rapid, reliable way to stop active attacks before they cause irreversible damage. ARO is proud to announce our new partnership with BullWall, a global leader in ransomware containment and server protection.

How BullWall Stops Ransomware in Its Tracks

Ransomware containment goes beyond traditional security measures by detecting, isolating, and halting active ransomware attacks in real-time. Here’s how BullWall’s innovative solution works:

1. Monitor & Detect

  • Continuously monitors data activity on file shares, VMs, domain controllers, database servers, and application servers (both on-premises and in the cloud).
  • Uses 28 detection sensors and machine learning to identify illegitimate encryption and data exfiltration instantly.

2. Isolate & Quarantine

  • Automatically activates an isolation protocol to contain compromised users and devices engaging in abnormal encryption.
  • Deploys built-in scripts to stop ransomware spread within seconds.
  • Alerts IT teams via a dashboard, email, SMS, or integration with existing security solutions like SIEM, NAC, and EDR.

3. Recover & Report

  • Identifies encrypted files that can be restored from backups.
  • Automates compliance reporting with detailed attack logs for internal leadership and government agencies.
