DirectCloud Co., Ltd., a company that simplifies the sharing of intelligence, will begin acting as a distributor for “WhiteDefender,” a next-generation endpoint security product specializing in ransomware countermeasures, starting September 1, 2026. By offering it together with “DirectCloud,” a cloud storage service for corporations, it will strengthen companies’ ransomware countermeasures from both PC (endpoint) and cloud storage perspectives.
Background: Damage continues even with the implementation of antivirus and EDR.
Ransomware attacks are no longer a problem limited to specific companies, but have become a business risk for the entire industry. According to data released by the National Police Agency, the number of reported ransomware attacks on companies and organizations remains high, and attacks targeting small and medium-sized enterprises and supply chains are also increasing.

Attack methods are becoming more sophisticated year by year, and cases are emerging where traditional antivirus software and EDR alone cannot prevent attacks such as fileless attacks and public blackmail after data theft. Ransomware attacks are not just “security incidents,” but also have a direct impact on business operations as they disrupt business activities.
DirectCloud securely stores corporate data through its cloud storage service for businesses, “DirectCloud”.
We have been providing mechanisms to protect data. On the other hand, in order to minimize damage, in addition to cloud-side measures to protect data, endpoint-side measures to prevent encryption itself are essential. To solve this problem, we handle “WhiteDefender,” which specializes in ransomware countermeasures, and we support companies in building a system that “does not stop operations even if infected” from both the PC (endpoint) and cloud storage sides.
