Morae, a global leader in digital and business solutions for the legal sector, has announced a strategic partnership with Halcyon, a leading provider of anti-ransomware solutions.

This collaboration equips law firms and corporate legal teams with robust cyber defense, combining Halcyon’s advanced ransomware detection and recovery capabilities with Morae’s legal and information governance expertise. Together, they help clients safeguard sensitive data, maintain GDPR and ISO 27001 compliance, and ensure operational continuity.

Ransomware remains a critical threat to the legal industry, targeting high-value confidential information. Since 2018, there have been 195 reported ransomware attacks on legal organizations, affecting over 2.9 million records with an average demand of $2.5 million. This partnership enables legal leaders to proactively protect client data, meet multi-jurisdictional compliance requirements, and mitigate reputational and financial risks.

Despite this need, traditional security tools often detect ransomware or alert users when it is too late, leading to catastrophic data loss and operational disruption.  The Morae–Halcyon partnership takes a fundamentally different approach: it’s built for resilience, disruption and rapid recovery, providing legal organizations with end-to-end solutions, delivering tangible, mission-critical benefits:

• Reduced risk: Ransomware is contained before business impact.
  • Uses advanced AI and behavioral detection to identify and neutralize ransomware signals early, stopping an attack before it spreads.
• Continuity: Systems and data are restored quickly, minimising downtime and disruption.
  • Resiliency layers ensure business-critical data remains safe, accessible and recoverable.
• Confidence: Boards, clients, regulators, and insurers know ransomware resilience is built in.
  • Captures intelligence from every attack attempt, continuously improving future protection and contributing to a broader cyber defense ecosystem.

“Legal professionals manage some of the most sensitive information in the world therefore excellent information governance and security is not just a compliance requirement — it’s a business imperative.” said Keith Fenner, Chief Revenue Officer at Morae. “Our clients have must have the highest level of protection and resilience, ensuring their data remains secure across all stages of the information lifecycle – even in the face of today’s sophisticated cyber threats.  Our partnership with Halcyon means we can offer exactly that.”

“Ransomware has evolved beyond simple data theft — it’s now about business paralysis,” added CJ Radford, Vice President, Strategic Partnerships at Halcyon. “Through this partnership, we’re bringing best-in-class cyber technology and expertise to the legal industry, empowering firms to defend, disrupt, and defeat ransomware with unprecedented speed and confidence.”
