A partner differentiator
Sell ransomware detection that catches the attack mid-encryption.
The Ransomware Canary plants hash-verified decoy files that are re-checked on every backup. When ransomware touches them, the hashes change, the backup chain freezes, and your customer's last clean image is protected. It's deterministic — no ML training, no learning period, no false-positive 3am pages — and it ships in every plan you resell, at no extra wholesale cost. A built-in reason to win the deal.

A built-in differentiator your competitors charge extra for.
Most backup vendors either skip ransomware detection or sell it as a paid endpoint add-on. With BigMind Resilience the Canary is in every plan — so you can lead the conversation with mid-attack detection instead of generic storage.
Catches it mid-attack
Ransomware encrypts quietly over an hour or two. The Canary trips during that window — before a daily backup can overwrite the last clean image.
Deterministic, not ML
A decoy is either intact or it is not. No training period, no drift, no model to tune — it works on day one, on the first endpoint.
Protects the clean image
On tamper, the backup chain freezes so the last good image is never overwritten by encrypted data. That is the image your customer recovers from.
Plant decoys. Hash them. Verify every backup. Freeze on tamper.
Hidden decoy files are placed in your customer's protected folders and hashed when they're planted. Every backup re-hashes them against that manifest; a standalone watcher also checks between backups so a weekly or monthly schedule never leaves a multi-day blind spot. When hashes change, the chain freezes and an incident is raised — all under your brand.
Detection flow
- 1Decoy files planted & hashed (SHA-256)
- 2Re-verified every backup + a watcher between backups
- 3Hash mismatch detected → tamper confirmed
- 4Chain frozen, last clean image protected, incident raised
No 30-day training period. No false-positive fatigue.
ML-based ransomware detection needs weeks to learn a baseline, and even then a single false positive at 3am teaches an admin to ignore the alerts. Hash mismatches don't drift — a decoy is intact or it isn't — so detection is reliable from the first install. That's a cleaner story to sell, and far less first-line support for you to absorb.
ML-based detection
30-day training before a reliable baseline — and false positives still happen after.
Deterministic Canary
Works on day one, endpoint one. Hashes don't drift, so alerts stay trustworthy.
Incidents surface in your white-labelled portal.
A tamper trip raises an incident your customer sees on their branded dashboard with a red banner — no Genie9 logo in the way. The in-dashboard banner is always included; richer fan-out to email, Slack, Teams and webhooks is tier-derived, so the higher plans you resell carry the fuller alerting. You manage it all from the partner portal.

The recovery layer — not a replacement for antivirus.
Be clear with your customers and you'll win more trust: the Canary works at the backup layer. It detects ransomware and guarantees a clean image to recover from. It doesn't stop or remediate the attack — that's the job of the AV/EDR you sell alongside it.
Detects
A hash mismatch on the decoys confirms files are being encrypted — during the attack, not after the ransom note.
Contains
Freezes the backup chain so the last clean image is never overwritten by encrypted data.
Recovers
The pre-tamper image is surfaced at the top of recovery options, ready for a fast, reliable restore.
It complements antivirus and EDR. It doesn't replace them — and saying so makes the rest of your pitch more credible.
