What is Heimdal Ransomware Encryption Protection?

Heimdal’s Ransomware Encryption Protection (REP) is a signatureless solution that detects and blocks malicious encryption attempts in real-time.


Heimdal’s REP is compatible with any antivirus and works for both endpoints and cloud environments.


This REP operates on behavioral analysis - triggers detections based on rules that mimic ransomware behavior - and processes kernel events for I/O reads, writes, directory enumeration, and file execution.


Threat hunters can review incident details such as timestamps, tree diagrams with process callbacks, PowerShell scripts, computed MD5 hash, enumeration of read or write operations performed during encryption attempts, command-line arguments, malicious process signatures, etc.

Key benefits:

  • Detect processes that launch file encryptions
  • Ransomware Rollback option allows users to revert to a restore point before the encryption
  • Kill and stop any ransomware outbreaks
  • Highly Advanced Kernel detection
  • Works signatureless
  • Works with ANY Antivirus
  • Track attacker origin
  • Automatic Device Isolation on Infection
  • Ransomware Rollback option allows you to revert to a restore point before the encryption


Heimdal delivers unification through a modular approach. Patch management can be started immediately, and additional modules like PAM, DNS filtering, or endpoint protection are also available as the need arises so that when unexpected compliance requirements emerge or new security challenges surface, there is no need to switch vendors or manage multiple agents.
