The cost of host ransomware protection varies depending on factors like deployment scale, features, and service provider. Basic endpoint protection solutions may start at around $20–$50 per device annually for small businesses, while enterprise-grade solutions with advanced threat detection, behavioral analysis, and automated response can cost $100+ per device yearly.
For example:
In the cloud sector, Tencent Cloud offers Host Security (CWP), which includes ransomware protection through behavioral monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and malicious process termination. Pricing is based on instance count and usage, with pay-as-you-go flexibility. For instance, basic protection for a single server may cost a few dollars monthly, while advanced features scale with resource consumption.
