The Anti‑Ransomware technology is designed to protect systems against ransomware attacks that encrypt or destroy valuable data. It focuses on detecting suspicious behavior at the file system level rather than relying solely on known malware signatures. The system continuously monitors file system interactions and identifies anomalies that indicate malicious encryption or destructive activity. When ransomware interacts with the file system, the technology detects abnormal behavior patterns and immediately intervenes to stop and remove the threat. This approach is particularly relevant for targeted attacks, including those aimed at small and medium-sized organizations, where custom-built ransomware variants may be used. By focusing on behavioral anomalies within the file system, the technology provides protection even against newly developed or modified ransomware strains.
