According to Microsoft, incidents targeting ESXi hypervisors have more than doubled over the past three years, with threat actors recognizing that a single compromised hypervisor can encrypt dozens of virtual machines simultaneously, paralyzing entire enterprises with devastating efficiency. For example, in April, the DragonForce ransomware attack targeting major UK retailers encrypted VMware ESXi hypervisors at Marks & Spencer, halting online sales for over 46 days and resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in profit losses and market value.

Upon initial access, attackers using LOTL techniques establish patterns that deviate from normal operating procedures. Arms Cyber’s zero trust policies build off these deviation requirements to reinforce more effective prevention. Intruders also rely on reliable information about their target, and static environments offer an ideal landscape for gathering such data.
Integrating Arms Cyber’s anti-ransomware platform at various layers introduces a level of diversity and dynamism, making it nearly impossible for attackers to gain the actionable intelligence they need about their target.Article contentArticle contentWith the addition of support for VMware, Windows, Linux and macOS environments, Arms Cyber is securing the virtualization layer where attacks often hide. The new release hardens remote access with multi-factor authentication, blocks malicious executables with application filtering and process controls, and enforces network and file access lockdowns across the hypervisor environment. Decoy files provide early detection, while AI-powered response halts attacks with over 98% efficacy, automates file rollback, and removes attacker persistence. The platform deploys easily on VMware ESXi, Nutanix, XenServer, Citrix Hypervisor, Proxmox, RHEV, and KVM, requires no kernel modifications, and runs with a minimal footprint and performance impact.Article contentAbout Arms CyberArticle contentArms Cyber delivers a revolutionary approach to defeat attacks others miss through a three-part strategy: Conceal, Deceive, and Restore — powered by stealth. By adding stealth to an organization’s existing security posture, we keep critical data invisible to attackers, detect threats before they cause serious damage, and enable rapid recovery without compromise. The outcome: no ransom payouts, no public breaches, no costly downtime.Article contentArticle contentArticle contentArticle contentArticle contentArticle contentKevin Wolf TGPR kevin@tgprllc.com Article contentTrending Philip Cross: The sad story of Justin Trudeau’s 'youthful idiots' FP Comment Posthaste: Here's where home prices plunged the most in tough year for Canada's housing market News Tax Court overturns CRA decision to deny bitcoin loss writeoff Taxes Welcome to the K-shaped economy: Canadians look back on a 'brutal,' 'great' year in Trump's trade war Economy Trump official signals support for trade deal with Canada, Mexico Economy Share this article in your social networkCommentsYou must be logged in to join the discussion or read more comments.Create an AccountSign in Join the Conversation Postmedia is committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion.
