HYCU, Inc., a leader for modern data protection for on-prem, cloud, and SaaS and one of the fastest growing companies in the industry, today announced a major expansion of its R-Shield cyber resilience solution through the integration of Halcyon’s advanced ransomware prevention and data exfiltration capabilities. The announcement represents a watershed moment for the data protection industry, where true prevention and protection technologies will operate a coordinated system rather than as separate layers. This represents a significant step forward in delivering complete ransomware resilience across detection, prevention, and recovery for HYCU’s global partners and customers.

“As AI makes attackers stronger, forward-thinking organizations have realized that they can no longer approach ransomware resilience with disconnected tools,” said Enrique Salem, Partner, Bain Capital Ventures (BCV) and an investor in both HYCU and Halcyon. “With the combination of prevention, protection, and recovery in a single, coordinated system, these two purpose-built solutions are coming together to close a critical gap in enterprise security and giving organizations a more complete way to protect the full estate.”
HYCU R-Shield will enable organizations to identify ransomware threats earlier, disrupt attacks before they spread, and recover quickly if, and when, incidents occur. By combining Halcyon’s purpose-built anti-ransomware technology with HYCU’s protection of the entire data estate, customers gain a more complete and unified approach to cyber resilience.
