SMB Protocol Security
Prevent Unauthorized Access and Mitigate Ransomware Risks in File-Sharing Environments
Secure file-sharing and network communication by enforcing identity-based access control, continuous monitoring, and threat isolation—ensuring safe and compliant SMB traffic across on-premises and cloud environments.
Including Granular Access Controls & Real-Time Threat Detection – Protect file-sharing systems from unauthorized access, lateral movement, and ransomware encryption attempts with Zero Trust enforcement and adaptive security policies.
SMB: A Critical Attack Surface
The Server Message Block (SMB) protocol is an essential component of enterprise file sharing and system communication, but it is also a major target for ransomware, lateral movement, and privilege escalation attacks. Unsecured SMB traffic can expose critical assets, allowing attackers to spread malware, exfiltrate sensitive data, or encrypt shared files.
Zero Trust for File-Sharing & Network Access
Zero Trust for File-Sharing & Network Access
Prevent Unauthorized Access & Lateral Movement
Once an attacker gains access to an SMB-enabled system, they must not be allowed to move freely within the network. Our security framework ensures that each request is verified, access is restricted to approved users and devices, and malicious activity is instantly detected and blocked.
Full Visibility & Threat Mitigation for SMB Traffic
By monitoring SMB traffic flows, detecting anomalies, and enforcing dynamic access policies, organizations eliminate unnecessary trust and prevent unauthorized access to critical file-sharing environments.
Overview
Our SMB Protocol Security solution ensures that file-sharing environments remain secure, resilient, and compliant by combining Zero Trust access enforcement, continuous threat detection, and real-time traffic monitoring. Whether protecting on-premises file servers, cloud-based SMB shares, or hybrid environments, our solution prevents ransomware propagation and unauthorized access attempts while maintaining high-performance data exchange.
Prevent Ransomware & Unauthorized Access
Block malicious encryption attempts and unauthorized SMB connections.
Apply access controls based on user identity, risk assessment, and device trust level.

Identity-Based SMB Access Contro
Restricts access to SMB file shares based on user identity, device compliance, and role-based policies.
Behavioral Traffic Monitoring
Continuously analyzes SMB traffic patterns to detect privilege abuse, brute-force attempts, and ransomware activity.
Dynamic Threat Response
Automatically blocks suspicious SMB sessions, isolates compromised devices, and prevents unauthorized file encryption.
Session Recording & Forensic Analysis
Captures detailed logs of SMB access attempts and file modifications for compliance and security investigations.
Zero Trust Enforcement for File Shares
Ensures that only verified and authorized devices can initiate SMB sessions, reducing risk exposure.
Real-Time Anomaly Detection
Detects unauthorized file access, privilege escalation attempts, and lateral movement inside SMB environments.
Multi-Cloud & Hybrid SMB Protection
Extends security policies to cloud-based file shares and on-premises SMB environments.
