A Hybrid Framework For Crypto-Ransomware Detection In Enterprise Shared Storage

Most corporate workplace environments enforce policies and technical controls that limit the storage of sensitive data on client endpoints. Consequently, ransomware operators have evolved variants that expand their attack surface from local systems to network drives and shared storage resources. As traditional endpoint detection mechanisms focus primarily on local system behaviour, a compromised client can impact remote file servers, such as by encrypting shared data, without directly triggering behavioural changes on the servers themselves. In this paper, we propose a hybrid detection framewo
