Voir →Cristie Software announced the release of FSBlocker, a new filesystem protection utility designed to prevent the unwanted deletion or modification of critical files or folders on Windows systems. FSBlocker provides an essential layer of defense at the kernel level to intercept file system calls and enforce strict access controls, either fully blocking file or folder access, or allowing access based on verified application signatures or application names. FSBlocker can also monitor and block modifications to the Windows system registry. This approach delivers robust, tamper-proof protection against unauthorised changes, deletion, or encryption attempts by malicious software.
FSBlocker can be deployed independently of Cristie Software’s BMR (Cristie Bare Machine Recovery) solutions. It integrates seamlessly with Windows-based systems and is available for both physical and virtual machines, with support for Linux-based systems in development for 2026.
Key features include:
• Configurable file system lockdown at file or folder level
• Lightweight kernel-level driver for minimal system impact
• Prevents ransomware encryption of protected files
• Simple deployment and management across distributed environments
• No reliance on antivirus detection or signature updates
FSBlocker is particularly valuable in environments where backup integrity and recovery assurance are essential to business continuity, such as healthcare, finance, government, and critical infrastructure sectors.
The launch of FSBlocker builds on Cristie Software’s commitment to cyber-resilient recovery, following recent innovations which include Continuous Recovery Assurance and Advanced Anomaly Detection.
