Top Features

Multi-layered ransomware defense

Stop ransomware at multiple points in the kill chain with managed next-gen antivirus, behavioral detection, and prevention controls that block attacks before encryption begins.

24/7 SOC-managed prevention

Rapid7’s elite SOC manages antivirus policy, threat hunting, and response around the clock, so prevention stays effective even when your in-house team is offline or stretched thin.

Proactive threat hunting built in

Rapid7 threat hunters track emerging ransomware indicators and techniques, running hypothesis-driven hunts that surface attacker activity before encryption payloads deploy.

Beyond licensing, a seamless, fully supported Ransomware Prevention experience with Discreet Vision.

Why Your Business Needs Ransomware Prevention

Ransomware Prevention isn't just antivirus, it's a fully managed, multi-layered defense combining Rapid7's SOC, threat hunting, and next-gen AV to stop ransomware attacks before they reach the encryption stage.

Stop Ransomware Before Encryption: Multi-layered detection catches ransomware at the initial access, execution, and lateral movement stages, blocking attacks before files are encrypted and ransoms demanded.

Fully Managed by Rapid7’s SOC: Rapid7 analysts handle policy tuning, threat hunting, and containment around the clock, so you get enterprise-grade ransomware defense without hiring a dedicated SOC team.

Proactive Threat Hunting: Rapid7 threat hunters track emerging ransomware operators, indicators, and techniques in real time, running hypothesis-driven hunts to catch attackers before they execute payloads.

Lightweight Unified Agent: Deployed through Rapid7’s single Insight Agent, Ransomware Prevention integrates natively with vulnerability management, EDR, and SOAR with no additional software on endpoints.

Built for how modern teams stop ransomware.

Everything your business needs to prevent, detect, and respond to ransomware, delivered in one managed service covering multi-layered next-gen antivirus, behavioral detection, proactive threat hunting, SOC-managed response, and unified endpoint coverage across the org.

Multi-Layered Prevention

Ransomware Prevention stops attacks before they can happen through multiple layers of detection and blocking across the attack chain. Managed next-gen antivirus uses behavioral analysis, machine learning, and signature-based detection to identify malicious activity whether it’s a known ransomware strain or a never-before-seen variant. Prevention controls block ransomware at initial access, during execution, and if attackers attempt lateral movement, stopping the encryption payload before it runs.

24/7 SOC-Managed Coverage

Rapid7’s elite SOC monitors every endpoint under Ransomware Prevention around the clock, managing antivirus policy, investigating suspicious activity, and responding to threats as an extension of your team. Analysts tune detection rules based on real-world attacker behaviors observed across Rapid7’s global customer base, so your defense improves continuously as threats evolve. When a potential ransomware event is detected, analysts investigate, contain, and escalate with full context.

Proactive Threat Hunting

Rapid7 threat hunters actively search for ransomware operators, indicators of compromise, and attacker techniques across your environment rather than waiting for alerts to trigger. Hypothesis-driven hunts use the latest intelligence on emerging ransomware families, affiliate programs, and initial access brokers to look for attacker activity before encryption payloads deploy. When hunters find suspicious activity, they escalate with full context including attacker objectives and recommended steps.

Integration with Rapid7's Security Stack

Ransomware Prevention runs on Rapid7’s single lightweight Insight Agent, which also powers vulnerability management, active response and SOAR, endpoint telemetry, DFIR, and high-fidelity EDR. One agent covers the entire security stack with no additional deployments, configuration overhead, or performance impact on endpoints. Integration with Rapid7’s broader platform means ransomware signals inform vulnerability prioritization and trigger SOAR playbooks for automated containment.

Seamless Escalation to Full Response

When ransomware activity is detected and requires deeper investigation, Ransomware Prevention connects directly into Rapid7’s unified SOC and incident response teams. The same analysts who manage prevention handle escalation to containment, forensics, and recovery without the handoff delays that plague traditional multi-vendor security stacks. If an attack progresses beyond prevention and requires full DFIR, Rapid7’s IR consultants step in with complete knowledge of the timeline.
