How eScan EDR Counteracts Ransomware Attacks in Real-Time

Introduction

Everything you need to know about Real-Time Ransomware Response. Ransomware attacks can grind businesses to a halt, hold up vital data, and extract steep payments. But imagine if you could prevent an attack at its root the second it begins. That is where eScan EDR plays a major role by offering protection against ransomware in real time, mitigating damage even before it spreads.

In this blog, we will see how eScan EDR detects, blocks, and mitigates real-time ransomware threats so that your business is always secure!

Real-Time Response

Ransomware is installed quickly—encryption of files, disruption of operations, and ransom demands can all take place in minutes. Which is why a swift response is so important.

Here’s what an effective real-time approach looks like:

• Real-Time Threat Detection: eScan keeps track of the activities taking place in a system and eases out abnormal behaviors before they turn into an unforeseen disaster.
• Behavior-Based Analysis: It does not simply depend on recognized hazards; it uses machine-grown learning and behavior detection to identify new and unrevealed ransomware.
• Automating Quarantine: Once there are signs of the dreaded ransomware; the automated quarantine bot kicks in and the file or process is quarantined immediately to prevent further file or process encryption.
• Rollback Feature: eScan rolls back the affected files to their pre-infection state and minimizes the damage instead of losing data.
• Real-Time Notifications: IT can receive alerts, which enables immediate intervention/action.

Backups do NOT protect you if your backups are encrypted and rendered useless by ransomware and business cannot keep operating normally before your response can kick in.

eScan Capabilities

eScan EDR is designed to tackle threats like ransomware. Here are the key features that help to keep you secure:

1. Monitoring Behaviors and Detecting Anomalies

eScan does not wait for a known ransomware signature. Instead, it monitors for unusual activity, such as:

• Mass file encryption
• Unauthorized modifications
• High-speed file deletion
• Registry tampering

This pre-emptive detection prevents ransomware from encrypting your files.

2. File Integrity Protection

Special protection is given to critical system files and business data:

• Protects from cryptographic attacks
• Tracks changes to file structures
• Stymies nefarious processes from running

This will protect your important files from being hijacked by ransomware.

3. Real-Time Behavioral Blocking

• Machine-learning-based detection automatically identifies malicious patterns.
• Provides protection against zero-day ransomware to block even new variants.
• Stops threats based on behaviors, eliminating the need for daily signature updates.

4. Advanced Heuristic Scanning

Unlike traditional antivirus solutions that depend on known malware databases, eScan uses heuristic scanning to identify and intelligently block unknown strains of ransomware as they attack your environment in real time.

5. Automated Response & Containment

In case of ransomware detection, eScan quarantines the infected systems so that it does not spread through the entire network.

• Suspicious activity is blocked within seconds.
• Processes executed by the ransomware get terminated immediately.
• Machines in a compromised state are placed in quarantine to prevent lateral movement.

6. Backing Up Data & Recovering It

With eScan, disaster recovery is seamless:

• It keeps secure backup snapshots, which recover encrypted files.
• Prevents ransomware from corrupting cloud-based backups.
• Guarantees business continuity without paying ransom demands.

7. Threat Intelligence Sharing

eScan uses:

• Threat intelligence in the cloud to prevent new ransomware threats.
• Ongoing learning models tailored to new attack methodologies.
• Security updates on autopilot to protect against evolving strains of malware.

8. Around The Clock Monitoring & Immediate Alerts

With real-time ransomware analytics, security teams receive:

• Threat notifications
• System performance insights
• Security status reports

This enables businesses to respond quickly, minimizing downtime and cost.

Conclusion

eScan EDR can be very helpful in building Real-Time Ransomware Response wherein it can help detect, block, and recover from one of the biggest cybersecurity threats – ransomware attacks.

With behavior analysis, heuristic scanning, instant quarantine, rollback, and real-time monitoring, eScan gives you peace of mind that your data is safe and your business stays up and running even during a ransomware attack.

Equipped with AI-driven detection, automated threat response, and real-time alerts, you can secure your business—or at least protect yourself against ransomware threats before they inflict any damage.

Real-Time Ransomware Response — Not Optional, But Central in Cybersecurity Resilience

eScan EDR provides organizations with the cost-effective protection needed to prevent, contain, and recover from ransomware attacks.
