Specialist ransomware protection that works even when endpoints are offline

Ransomware attacks have evolved.

Today’s attackers don’t rely on known malware, signatures, or noisy behaviour — and they often disable connectivity before encryption begins.

Peritus Ransomware Defence is a specialist, ransomware-only security layer designed to detect and contain encryption activity as it happens, including previously unseen zero-day variants, even when devices are isolated from the network.

This service sits on top of your existing security stack, adding a focused layer of protection where most platforms are weakest.

Why ransomware still succeeds in “secure” environments

Most modern security platforms are designed to be broad.
Ransomware is now highly targeted.

In real-world attacks:

  • Threat actors gain access quietly

  • Disable Wi-Fi or network interfaces

  • Isolate endpoints

  • Trigger encryption locally

At that point, many tools lose visibility.

Ransomware Defence is built specifically for this scenario.

What makes this different

True zero-day ransomware detection

This service does not rely on:

  • Signatures

  • Known ransomware families

  • Threat intelligence lookups

  • Cloud-based correlation

Instead, it detects encryption behaviour and ransomware kill-chain activity directly on the endpoint, allowing it to identify brand-new, previously unseen ransomware variants.

Works even when the endpoint is offline

Attackers often disable connectivity to evade detection.

This service continues to:

  • Monitor encryption behaviour locally

  • Detect ransomware activity without internet access

  • Operate independently of cloud connectivity

Even if Wi-Fi is disabled or the device is deliberately isolated, ransomware behaviour can still be detected.

Most security products cannot do this.

Designed to sit on top of your existing stack

This is not a replacement for EDR, XDR, or endpoint protection platforms.

It is a specialist layer that:

  • Complements Microsoft Defender, SIEM, and EDR platforms

  • Adds depth where broad tools trade coverage for scale

  • Requires no rip-and-replace or architectural change

It integrates cleanly alongside platforms such as CrowdStrike, providing additional ransomware-specific protection without disruption.

How Peritus delivers the service

1. Continuous ransomware monitoring

Endpoints are monitored for live encryption activity and ransomware-specific behaviour, including techniques designed to evade traditional controls.

3. Containment and response guidance

We work with your team to isolate affected systems, reduce blast radius, and coordinate next steps — including incident response where required.

2. Rapid alerting and triage

When suspicious activity is detected, Peritus security specialists assess and escalate alerts based on risk and impact.

4. Clear reporting

You receive concise, business-ready reporting focused on:

  • What happened

  • What was prevented

  • What actions were taken

  • What risk remains

Commercially simple, operationally effective

  • Lightweight deployment

  • No disruption to existing tooling

  • Approx. £2 per endpoint per month

  • Ideal as a standalone control or bundled with managed services

For many organisations, this becomes a low-cost, high-impact addition to an already significant security investment.

Is this right for you?

This service is particularly effective for organisations that:

  • Already have a strong security stack in place

  • Want deeper ransomware-specific protection

  • Are concerned about zero-day ransomware

  • Need protection that still works when attackers disable connectivity

What happens on a ransomware readiness call?

A short, practical conversation with a Peritus security specialist to understand how exposed your organisation may be to modern ransomware tactics.

The call typically covers:

  • How ransomware commonly bypasses existing security controls

  • Whether your current stack would still detect encryption if connectivity was lost

  • Where specialist ransomware detection adds value alongside your existing tools

  • Whether this approach is relevant for your environment

Duration: ~20–30 minutes
Preparation required: None
