Network Share Protection
Eliminate a Critical Ransomware Blind Spot

Xcitium Network Share Protection uses patented technology to stop ransomware from encrypting files on shared drives and network storage, before damage is done.

Encryption Prevention

Stop ransomware encryption at the data layer before files on shared drives are modified or locked.

Unmanaged Coverage

Protect against attacks originating from unmanaged devices, including contractor laptops, BYOD systems, and legacy endpoints.

Storage Security

Secure shared storage environments such as file servers, NAS systems, and network drives used across teams.

Attack Elimination

Eliminate one of the most common ransomware attack paths used to cause widespread business disruption.

Protection Extension

Extend protection beyond endpoint security, ensuring shared data remains protected even when attackers gain network access.

How Network Share Protection Works

Network Share Protection monitors file activity on shared drives in real time. When abnormal behavior appears:

Write Analysis

File-write operations are analyzed for ransomware encryption patterns.

Instant Detection

Suspicious activity across file writes is detected instantly.

Write Blocking

Malicious write operations targeting shared files are blocked.

File Integrity

Files remain intact, protected, and fully accessible.

Protection That Goes Beyond the Endpoint

Prevent ransomware encryption across shared storage with real-time, policy-driven protection.

Encryption Prevention

Blocks malicious write operations targeting shared drives before ransomware can encrypt files.

Unmanaged Devices

Stops attacks originating from contractor laptops, BYOD systems, and unmanaged legacy devices.

Shared Storage

Protects file servers, NAS systems, and organizational network shares from ransomware activity.

Real-Time Monitoring

Continuously monitors write activity across shared storage to detect and stop encryption attempts.

Platform Integration

Managed through the Xcitium platform with centralized security policies and unified visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Network Share Protection is a patented technology that prevents ransomware from encrypting files stored on shared drives, file servers, and network storage by detecting and blocking malicious file-write behavior in real time.
Traditional endpoint security focuses on protecting individual devices. Network Share Protection safeguards shared data itself, preventing ransomware from encrypting files on network drives even if the attack originates from another device on the network.
Yes. Network Share Protection is designed to protect shared storage even when ransomware activity originates from unmanaged endpoints, contractor laptops, BYOD devices, or legacy systems that may not have endpoint protection installed.

Network Share Protection secures:

  • File servers
  • NAS devices
  • Network shares
  • Shared storage environments used across teams and applications
The solution monitors file-write activity targeting shared drives and identifies encryption-like behavior patterns associated with ransomware. When suspicious activity is detected, malicious write operations are blocked instantly before files can be encrypted.
No. Network Share Protection is integrated within the Xcitium platform, making deployment simple and manageable through existing security policies and configurations.
Yes. Network Share Protection complements existing endpoint security and MDR solutions by protecting shared data layers that traditional tools typically do not cover.
