Anson Dorsey, CTO and Co-Founder of QuellSecure, joins the IT Business Podcast’s PitchIT 2026 series to discuss active ransomware containment for MSPs and IT providers. QuellSecure deploys as a lightweight endpoint agent that monitors file-system activity, aiming to stop malicious encryption after only a small number of files are affected—helping reduce operational disruption and recovery exposure.
