Softwerx, Microsoft and Halcyon:
Enhancing Managed XDR with Advanced Ransomware Recovery

“Ransomware has always been more than a technical risk—it’s a business, a weapon, and a psychological warfare tool,” Forbes, 2025.

For over 25 years, Softwerx has provided the leading cybersecurity capability for the midmarket through secure365, its Managed XDR solution, combining Microsoft Security with 24x7x365 monitoring. 

But today’s threat landscape continues to shift. Ransomware groups have become faster, smarter, and more destructive – and midmarket organisations are squarely in their sights. Traditional tools may no longer be enough on their own. 

This is where Halcyon comes in. It’s a toolset purpose-built to defeat the most sophisticated forms of ransomware, focusing on detecting and disrupting every stage of an attack. It works alongside your existing Microsoft Security stack to close the gaps that conventional EDR and backups simply can’t cover. 

Halcyon works hand in hand with secure365, feeding ransomware telemetry into the Microsoft Security ecosystem, so that the secure365 operational team can monitor, investigate and start to act on ransomware threats before they affect your business. 

Halcyon focuses on advanced ransomware protection and recovery, while secure365 adds the continuous analysis and response needed to keep everything coordinated. They create a practical, resilience-led approach that helps stop attacks earlier, contain incidents faster, and protect business operations even if ransomware breaks through the perimeter.
