Arctic Wolf acquires UpSight Security for ransomware prevention in Aurora

"Arctic Wolf is therefore acquiring UpSight Security to take its endpoint security to the next level. After the integration, Aurora Endpoint Security will have access to patented technology that runs predictive AI models on devices themselves. These models analyze billions of endpoint events to recognize and stop malicious behavior in real time. Aurora is based on technology from BlackBerry Cylance, which was acquired at the end of 2024."

"Arctic Wolf will expand the Aurora endpoint platform with ransomware prevention and rollback capabilities through the acquisition of UpSight Security. While effective detection and response remain essential, Arctic Wolf recognizes that the speed and sophistication of modern ransomware campaigns make prevention more important than ever. The enhanced capabilities should enable organizations to stop ransomware before encryption or exfiltration occurs. In addition, compromised hosts can be isolated more quickly, and the rollback feature offers recovery of affected systems."

Arctic Wolf is expanding the Aurora endpoint platform by acquiring UpSight Security to add ransomware prevention and rollback capabilities. The integrated solution will run patented predictive AI models on endpoints to analyze billions of events and recognize and stop malicious behavior in real time. Aurora Endpoint Security builds on technology from BlackBerry Cylance. The enhanced capabilities aim to stop ransomware before encryption or data exfiltration, isolate compromised hosts more quickly, and provide system rollback to recover affected systems. The acquisition aligns with Arctic Wolf's strategy to continuously evolve the Aurora Platform as attack complexity increases.
