# QuellSecure

> QuellSecure makes Quell, a ransomware containment product that stops active file encryption in real time using Active Containment™ technology. Quell operates at the Windows file system layer — the single chokepoint every ransomware variant must pass through — and blocks attacks before mass damage occurs. It is a last-line-of-defense layer that complements existing EDR/XDR tools and backup solutions, not a replacement for either. Designed for MSPs, MSSPs, and enterprise IT teams managing Windows environments.

QuellSecure is headquartered in Boston, MA and was founded in 2025. The product has been independently validated and recognized with a Global InfoSec Award for 2026.

## Product: Active Containment™

Quell monitors the one chokepoint ransomware cannot avoid — file encryption — and stops the process the moment it begins. Detection requires no signatures or behavioral pattern matching, which means it is effective against known and novel variants alike.

Key product facts:

- Windows 11 endpoints only; protects all files accessed through the Windows File System
- 100% detection rate, independently validated across 12 ransomware families including LockBit and Akira
- Proven effective against 125+ threat variants
- Average of 9 files affected before containment triggers
- 25ms file write latency (essentially imperceptible to users)
- ~1% CPU utilization; ~200MB RAM footprint
- Deploys in under 30 minutes via endpoint management tool; ~20MB install
- Approximately 1 hour per month to manage; no signature updates required
- Works independently alongside existing security tools without conflicts
- Not an EDR replacement — purpose-built for ransomware containment only

### How It Works

1. **Monitor Mode**: Review which processes would trigger containment without business disruption. Mark trusted applications. No action taken yet.
2. **Active Mode**: Quell automatically contains any process performing encryption in real time. IT is notified immediately. Trust or block globally in one click.
3. **Simulate**: Run a mock attack to confirm configuration — no real file encryption occurs.

## Partners (MSPs and MSSPs)

Quell is designed for MSP economics: high value, low overhead, meaningful margin per seat.

- Sells as a named SKU ("Ransomware Containment") — clear line item at renewal
- Deploys in under 30 minutes; ~1 hour per month to manage across client base
- Supports compliance documentation for HIPAA, NYDFS, PCI, and NIST containment requirements
- Enables layered services: IR retainers, vCISO advisory, quarterly resilience reviews, insurance audit support
- Reduces IR cost exposure — containing attacks to ~9 files on average avoids weeks-long recovery projects

## Positioning

QuellSecure positions Quell as the layer between prevention (EDR/XDR) and recovery (backups/DR) — the gap where ransomware currently thrives. The core claim: resilience should not hinge on recovery speed. Active Containment™ turns a potential crisis into a minor incident by stopping encryption before it spreads. This is not a detection or response tool in the traditional sense — it does one thing: stops ransomware at the encryption chokepoint.
