In today’s digital age, ransomware has become a pervasive threat, causing harm to both businesses and individuals alike. It has caused many organizations to have to choose between continuing to use their most valuable and critical data in cloud tools and collaboration services, or keep it siloed in their own systems to limit the potential for attack.

OmniIndex eliminates the need for this difficult choice, enabling even the most regulated and critical data to be used in the cloud while keeping it protected from attacks thanks to our award-winning and patented technology. 

Web3 File Storage

Files are saved in your own web3 file store where they are immutable & decentralized.

Zero-Trust Access

All access attempts are continually verified with no user having the ability to decrypt or even access all files.

Constant Encryption

Patented FHE enables files and data to remain encrypted while processed, searched & analyzed.

Threat Intelligence

Real-time AI analysis of encrypted log files checks for irregular activity and alerts you to threats.

“Ransomware is a type of malware which prevents you from accessing your device and the data stored on it, usually by encrypting your files. A criminal group will then demand a ransom in exchange for decryption.”

Access
Attackers gain access to your network. They establish control and plant malicious encryption software.  They may also take copies of your data and threaten to leak it.

Activation
The malware is activated, locking devices and causing the data across the network to be encrypted, meaning you can no longer access it.

Ransom demand
Usually you will then receive an on-screen notification from the cyber criminal, explaining the ransom and how to make the payment to unlock your computer or regain access to your data. Payment is usually demanded via an anonymous web page and usually in a cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin
