Mimic Networks for financial services
Mimic Networks protects the Windows and Linux servers banks, brokers and insurers run on by checking each change against the server's known-good profile and stopping unauthorized ones at the point of execution. That holds when ransomware arrives with valid credentials or a patch has to wait for a change window.
The servers
Mimic Networks protects the servers behind the transactions, on Windows Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Each one gets a Mimic node and its own known-good profile.
Branch and trader workstations, laptops and network devices stay out of scope.

Who we help
Ransomware that arrives with valid credentials passes your identity checks. Mimic checks what the session changes on core banking and trading servers, not who logged in.
Stop ransomware before encryption
Core banking and trading servers wait for change windows and freezes. A Virtual Patching safeguard can block the specific mechanism an analyzed vulnerability depends on while the patch waits.
Core banking, trading and settlement servers all trust the same domain controllers. With protections turned on, a Mimic node on each one locks Group Policy permissions and blocks stops of critical services.
Proof
DashCam records each blocked attempt: what it tried to change, when and the process behind it, so a test leaves evidence your team can read afterward.

FAQ
A change freeze holds planned work on core banking, payments and trading servers. It doesn't hold attackers. During one, Mimic keeps checking each change to a protected server against its known-good profile and stops unauthorized ones at the point of execution. Patches that wait for the freeze to lift are the window Virtual Patching covers: a safeguard can block the specific mechanism an analyzed vulnerability depends on until the patch goes in.
DashCam records each change Mimic blocked on a protected payments, trading or core banking server: what it tried to change, when and the process behind it. Your team works from that record instead of rebuilding a timeline from scattered logs, and Mimic feeds enforcement events to your SIEM and SOAR platforms.
No. Patching, change approval and incident notice stay with your team and the tools you run today. Mimic Networks adds enforcement on the servers it protects: changes outside a server's known-good profile stop at the point of execution, whether a patch is waiting for a window or an attacker holds valid credentials. A Virtual Patching safeguard can block the specific mechanism an analyzed vulnerability depends on until the patch goes in.
Start where an unauthorized change would cost the most: the core banking and payments application servers, the domain controllers every other server trusts and the database servers behind them. Mimic Networks protects Windows Server 2016 and later, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and later. You pick the servers and the critical applications on them, and Mimic builds a known-good profile for each one.
