Ransomware is a race to your keys. Sidechain’s Key Management service puts keys behind hardware boundaries, enforces time-boxed decrypt approvals, and turns rotations into routine—so attackers hit walls and you recover faster.

Why keys decide outcomes

• If attackers can decrypt, they monetize.
• If they can’t, exfiltration has limited value.
• If you can restore cleanly, downtime shrinks.

The modern key program

• HSM-backed custody: Keys never leave protected boundaries.
• Time-boxed decrypt grants: Approvals with expirations, two-person rule for sensitive ops.
• Rotation on rails: Envelope encryption; master key rotations without downtime.
• Telemetry & alerts: Key-use logs to SIEM; anomaly detection on denied/atypical decrypts.

Ransomware-ready metrics

• Decrypt-with-approval % (prod): Target 100%
• Denied decrypts MTTD: ≤ 10 minutes
• Rotation on-time %: ≥ 99%
• Restore drill pass rate: 100% quarterly

Quick wins (this month)

• Turn on default encryption and bucket policies.
• Stand up approval workflow for decrypts (time-boxed).
• Ship key-use logs to your SIEM; alert on spikes/denials.
• Schedule a guided restore test and record RTO/RPO.
