Helm makes the call at the data layer, and Microsoft Defender carries it out on every device involved.
Talk to usHelm spots ransomware where your data lives, then uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to contain every device associated with the malicious activity. The attack is cut off from your network, and your team stays in control of what happens next.
Whether ransomware is executed from devices protected by your EDR or from devices that are not in scope, Helm detects the malicious activity at the data layer. When encryption starts, Helm identifies the account behind it in under a second and acts on fixed rules your team can read.
Helm orchestrates the containment and isolation of endpoint assets through your existing Defender capabilities. Defender knows your devices. Helm tells it which ones to contain, and why.
When Helm contains an attack, it finds every Windows device linked to the compromised account, or a named server, and contains them through Defender for Endpoint’s own device isolation. Each device is cut off from the network but stays connected to Defender, so your team can investigate it safely. Every action is recorded in the Helm incident, and Helm can email a report to your team.
Once a device is confirmed clean, it is released and reconnected, and recovery continues on verified ground.
Keep every part of your Defender investment. Helm brings the data-layer signal and acts on the rules you set; Defender carries out the containment on the device. If you also run Microsoft Sentinel, the same incident can land in your workspace.
