F-Secure provides robust ransomware protection through multiple layers of defense designed to prevent unauthorized access, encryption of files, and disruption caused by ransomware attacks. Here's how F-Secure helps safeguard against ransomware:

Key Features of Ransomware Protection in F-Secure:

1. Real-Time File Monitoring:

   • Scans all files and processes in real-time to detect and block malicious activities, including unauthorized encryption attempts.

2. DeepGuard Technology:

   • Uses behavior-based detection to identify and stop suspicious applications or processes that exhibit ransomware-like behavior.

3. Folder Protection:

   • Protects specific folders by restricting access to only trusted applications, preventing unauthorized modification or encryption of sensitive files.

4. Exploit Protection:

   • Identifies and blocks exploit kits often used by ransomware to infect systems.

5. Automatic Backups and Restore Support:

   • Prevents data loss by ensuring users have options to recover files in the event of an attempted ransomware attack.

6. Cloud-Based Threat Intelligence:

   • Quickly recognizes new ransomware strains by analyzing threats globally in real-time, ensuring rapid response to emerging ransomware.

7. Safe Browsing and Email Scanning:

   • Blocks access to phishing websites and scans email attachments to prevent ransomware delivery through malicious links or attachments.

8. Controlled Application Launching:

• Monitors and restricts applications from executing untrusted scripts or processes that could lead to encryption.
