What Is
Ransomware -
Ransomware is a particularly painful type of malware. Malware is “hostile or intrusive software” that is illegally introduced onto your system for malicious reasons. When ransomware infects your system, it blocks access to your data until the payment is delivered to the criminals who are extorting you or your business. It's an illegal threat to your data.
How our Ransomware Protection Kit works
Vantor’s Ransomware Protection is an advanced Ransomware protection tool kit. Our technology actively protects all of the data on your systems, including documents, media files, programs, and more – even the backup files we produce for you.
The toolkit includes:
- Pattern detection.
Vantor Ransomware Protection constantly observes patterns in how data files are being change on your system and compares against malicious behaviour patterns. This approach can be exceptionally powerful in identifying ransomware attacks.
- Allowlist and denylist
Our Ransomware Protection can detect new threats based on already identified patterns as well as learned ones. Maintaining an allowlist – programs are allowed to perform certain actions – to prevent authorized activities from being falsely tagged as unauthorized.

- Self-defence of backup files
One way that criminals could choose to compromise files would be to attack the backup software itself to corrupt the backup files it creates. To protect against this, Vantor can implement a robust self-defence mechanism that won’t let criminals disrupt the work of our Ransomware Protection application or backup file content.
The same technology Vantor uses to stop Ransomware can also prevent cryptocurrency mining malware from hijacking your system resources.
