Enterprise Integration Can Protect You from Cryptolocker Better Than Some Top Rated Security Vendors. Is Your Company's Money Going to the Right Vendor?

Jacksonville, FL, November 07, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Imagine discovering that important company data has been encrypted. Even worse, it is determined that the only way to keep the files from being destroyed is paying the attackers a large sum of money to reveal the secret code to decrypt the files. Cryptolocker has been doing just that for more than a year, leaving in its wake millions in damages from thousands of encrypted files and corporate network-shared drives. Jacksonville-based Enterprise Integration (EI) has developed a tool that can detect and remediate this harmful virus before it strikes.

Cryptolocker is a ransomware trojan that targets computers running Microsoft Windows. The malware typically propagates through infected email attachments, ultimately encrypting important files. These files are often destroyed unless the victim pays the attackers a hefty ransom to unlock the files. The FBI estimates that nearly 545,000 PCs globally have contracted Cryptolocker and 50% of those were inside of the United States. An individual business can expect to pay upwards of $250,000 per incident – a hefty fee for recovering documents that were rightly owned by the company to begin with.

Enterprise Integration has developed a solution to stop the virus before it wreaks havoc on clients systems. While many of the antivirus vendors have been trying to keep up with the number of variations of the Trojan, EI has taken a holistic protection method. Utilizing EI’s proprietary Service Delivery Intelligence™ suite, they analyze file access for early detection. Once detected, SDI responds by locking the infected workstation, disabling the user account and proactively shutting down the device before Cryptolocker can do any damage.

EI’s Chief Information Officer and driver behind the tool suite, Kevin Batchelor, said, “Protecting our client’s data is our number one priority. We will continue to develop innovative solutions to fill the voids in common protection methods.”

EI’s BlackOps™ security team, the group behind this revolutionary capability, takes a non-traditional approach to proactively defend IT infrastructure security threats. Tools with similar capabilities as SDI™ can be extremely costly for businesses, but Enterprise Integration offers this tool to their clients as part of their core service. The combination of EI’s industry thought leadership and innovative tools enables them to provide superior service.
