About Us
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
At CryptoStopper, our goal is to make ransomware protection straightforward and successful – that means faster time-to-detection and fewer false positives. In the pursuit of creating advanced next generation systems, companies have overcomplicated their security solutions and excluded tried and true methods. Ransomware protection should be easy to implement and offer more than just defense; it should give you the upper hand.
CryptoStopper gives businesses an advantage over their attackers. By using proven systems which emphasize the essentials, we allow businesses to withstand an attack, even after it’s reached the internal network. Our system of traps and decoys lowers the time-to-discovery and safeguards one of the most critical elements of a business, its data.

He saw firsthand the rapid increase in the damage cyber criminals were doing with debilitating malware resulting in high financial loss to vulnerable companies. Between 2012 and 2015, one in five of Axis Backup’s clients was hit by cyber crime. Greg realized effective cyber security could save businesses from costly downtime and compromised systems. In 2015, Axis Backup was acquired by J2 Global, freeing Greg to create WatchPoint and focus exclusively on cyber security.[/us_person][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][us_person image=”117″ name=”Nate Studebaker” role=”Chief Hacking Officer” layout=”simple” effect=”faded”]Nathan oversees our WatchPoint offensive cyber security team, continually adding to our threat intelligence alert system and monitoring the stream of attack vectors.
