Ransomware Shield

Ransomware Shield is a behavior-based detection technique that monitors the behavior of applications and processes that try to modify files in a way common for ransomware/filecoders. If an application´s behavior is considered malicious or the reputation-based scanning shows it to be suspicious, the application is blocked, the process is stopped, or the user is asked to block or allow it.
