BullWall and Netrix Global Partner to Automate the Entire Ransomware Response Across North America as a Fully Managed Security Service

Partnership pairs BullWall’s automated ransomware response platform, spanning detection, autonomous containment, investigation, verified recovery, and reporting for regulators and insurers, with Netrix Global’s 24/7 SOC and managed security expertise.

CHICAGO, IL & COPENHAGEN, Denmark – July 31, 2026 – BullWall, the pioneer in autonomous ransomware containment, and Netrix Global, a leading provider of cybersecurity and managed IT services, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver BullWall’s Managed Ransonware Containment, a fully managed, 24/7 service that automates the entire ransomware response, from the first signal of an active attack through verified recovery, for SMB, midmarket, and enterprise organizations across the United States.

Most security programs are built to keep attackers out and stop there. When something gets through, organizations are too often left without an automated way to contain the attack, confirm what happened, verify they are clean before restoring, or prove it to regulators and insurers afterward. Detection without a coordinated response is just an alert, and recovery is frequently assumed rather than verified. BullWall’s Managed Ransonware Containment, closes those gaps by combining BullWall’s automated response platform with Netrix Global’s industry recognized Security Operations Center (SOC) and managed services delivery.

Ransomware Remains the Defining Cyber Threat

Ransomware now factors into 44% of all data breaches, up from 32% the year before, making it the most dominant threat pattern in the 20 years of the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report. Critical industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services have been hit hardest, with attacks surging more than 50% in 2025.

Even with mature endpoint detection and response (EDR) and next-generation antivirus in place, sophisticated ransomware operators routinely bypass or disable prevention controls once they’ve gained a foothold — using techniques like EDR tampering, living-off-the-land binaries, and legitimate admin tooling. Independent research and BullWall’s own penetration testing have shown that ransomware can reach the encryption stage in a meaningful share of real-world attack scenarios, underscoring the need for a dedicated, back-of-kill-chain containment layer that activates when prevention falls short.

A Fully Managed Service That Automates the Entire Ransomware Response

Through this partnership, Netrix Global delivers BullWall’s ransomware response platform as a fully managed, end-to-end security service, with no endpoint agents required and no additional burden on client IT teams. Rather than a single control, it automates every stage of an attack, from the first signal of active encryption through verified recovery: detecting malicious encryption within milliseconds, autonomously containing the threat before it spreads, investigating what happened, confirming that backups, monitoring, and endpoints are clean before recovery is cleared, and generating compliance reporting mapped to GDPR, NIST, NIS2, DORA, and cyber insurance requirements.

The service is monitored 24/7/365 by the Netrix Global SOC, staffed by senior security engineers assigned to each account, with optional Server Intrusion Protection (SIP) and Virtual Server Protection (VSP) for extended coverage across physical and virtual infrastructure. A stage by stage breakdown is provided in the FAQ below.

“Stopping the encryption is only the first step. The hard part is everything that comes after an attack: knowing exactly what happened, confirming you are genuinely clean before you restore, and proving it to regulators and insurers. BullWall orchestrates that entire sequence, from the first signal to verified recovery, and automates it on the infrastructure organizations already run. Netrix Global brings deep specialist incident response and recovery talent to stand behind that orchestration, so the moment an attack begins, seasoned responders are already executing on the client’s behalf. Together we are giving organizations across North America a capability very few have today: a single, orchestrated path from the first signal of an attack to verified recovery.”

- Christian Have, Chief Technology Officer, BullWall

“Ransomware is the scenario that keeps every CISO up at night, not because organizations are not investing in security, but because a single payload that bypasses endpoint protection can still take down an entire environment. BullWall’s Managed Ransonware Containment gives our clients a complete, automated response (detection, containment, investigation, verified recovery, and reporting), managed entirely by Netrix and monitored by our SOC 24/7, so there is zero lift on our clients’ teams. It is a powerful addition to our cybersecurity portfolio and a genuinely new capability for the organizations we serve.”

- Adam Berger, SVP, Managed Services & CISO, Netrix Global

Built for High Risk Industries and Mature Security Programs

BullWall’s Managed Ransonware Containment is designed for organizations where downtime is not an option, whether they operate a mature security program that recognizes prevention alone is not sufficient, or a leaner team protecting mission critical systems that simply cannot afford to go dark.

Priority verticals include:

• Healthcare & Life Sciences: from large hospital systems to regional clinics and specialty providers, where patient care disruption and legacy system exposure create acute ransomware risk;
• Manufacturing & Industrial: from global manufacturers to midmarket producers, where OT/ICS environments and production stoppages create cascading supply chain consequences;
• Financial Services: from national institutions to community banks and credit unions, where regulatory exposure and transactional continuity demand a hardened, evidenced defense posture;
• Government & Education: from federal agencies to municipalities and K-12 districts, where public service dependency and constrained security budgets make rapid containment essential;
• Energy, Utilities & Critical Infrastructure: from major utilities to regional cooperatives and water authorities, where safety and operational implications demand the strongest available containment;
• Professional Services & Legal: where client confidentiality, billable continuity, and regulatory data handling make even short outages reputationally devastating.

The service is also well suited to organizations navigating recovery after an incident, M&A security integration, and ERP or OT modernization.
