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.

The threat landscape continues to evolve at speed. Ransomware is no longer limited to simple file encryption—it has become a targeted, persistent, and highly sophisticated operation. Modern ransomware groups are faster, smarter, and more destructive than ever, and both Midmarket and Enterprise organisations are firmly in their sights. Traditional tools and single‑layer defences can struggle to keep pace.

Softwerx delivers broad‑based cybersecurity through secure365, a managed XDR service built on and optimised for Microsoft Security. Halcyon, purpose‑built to defeat the most advanced forms of ransomware, focuses on detecting, disrupting, and neutralising every stage of an attack. Operating alongside the Microsoft Security stack, Halcyon closes critical gaps that conventional EDR and backups cannot address.

Together, Halcyon + secure365 create a powerful, Microsoft‑aligned defence strategy. Halcyon feeds deep ransomware telemetry into the Microsoft ecosystem, enabling the secure365 operations team to monitor, investigate, and act on threats in real time before they impact your business.
