New SSD with Built-In Ransomware Protection Released

Cigent has developed a Secure SSD+ flash drive with built-in ransomware prevention support that uses machine learning algorithms to monitor disk accesses and block access if it detects ransomware activity. The drive is designed to provide organizations with a preventative solution rather than tackling an attack that has already happened. The Secure SSD+ is intended to work with the Data Defense platform, which allows IT and security personnel to monitor and manage the drives and set policies, reset PINs, as well as receive ransomware alerts.
