At Blackwell Security, we know that ransomware attacks in healthcare aren’t just IT issues—they’re clinical risks. A locked system can delay treatment, compromise patient safety, and devastate hospital operations. That’s why we’ve always focused on driving towards resilience as an outcome with our expert-led Managed Healthcare Detection and Response (MHXDR) offerings.
We recently announced a new partnership with Arms Cyber, bringing anti-ransomware protection into the Blackwell ecosystem.
Why It Matters: Resilience Beyond Detection & Response
Most cybersecurity solutions are built to protect, detect, and respond. Fewer are designed to recover. This partnership furthers Blackwell’s protection, detection, and response capabilities and helps close to significantly shorten the recovery gap.
Blackwell customers now gain access to integrated ransomware defense and operational resiliency capabilities that go far beyond traditional EDR. It also means backup systems that are built from the ground up to preempt, block, and rapidly remediate ransomware attacks in real time, providing recovery in minutes instead of weeks or months. Combined with Blackwell’s 24/7 Cyber Fusion Center and threat response, the result is a complete, fully managed resilience strategy tailored for healthcare.
Key Capabilities Now Available With Blackwell’s MDR
Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD): Every process instance has a randomized “DNA,” making it nearly impossible for attackers to predict or exploit vulnerable systems. This disrupts reconnaissance and makes malware much harder to execute.
Dynamic Deceptive Decoys: Unlike static canary files that attackers learn to ignore, these decoys are adaptive, stealthily embedded, and constantly updated—drawing ransomware in and exposing it without false positives.
File Entropy Analysis: Monitors for encryption-like behavior (e.g., sudden entropy spikes) to detect threats that traditional tools miss through relying on signature-based scanning.
Stealth Archive & Local Recovery Vault: Critical files and system artifacts are backed up in real time into a hidden, attack-proof partition. This enables minutes-fast recovery without needing cloud access or massive infrastructure.
Encryption Key Capture: If ransomware does encrypt files, encryption metadata is proactively collected to aid in forensic recovery—even when malware uses unknown or emerging libraries.
These technologies have low performance drag (<1% CPU use, <2% memory overhead), deploy in minutes, and integrate seamlessly into existing IT environments..
What This Means for Our Customers
Healthcare organizations now face more frequent and more sophisticated ransomware attacks. Unfortunately, EDR alone can’t keep up, and traditional backups are increasingly targeted by threat actors.
By embedding Arms Cyber’s next-gen technology into our managed service, Blackwell is delivering:
- Faster, automatic recovery within minutes
- Real-time threat containment
- Operational continuity without compromise
- Lower total cost of risk
In short: Blackwell now offers fully managed ransomware resilience—from preemption to rapid recovery.
