Read about it today at theregister and sounds pretty good but some what discouraging from
@Windows_Security initial test.
Quote : " Acronis has released a free, standalone version of its Acronis Ransomware Protection with AI-based
Active Protection tech.
It can be used alongside existing backup and antivirus products on Windows systems.
The lightweight (20MB) software runs in the background and is said to monitor system processes in real-time to automatically detect and stop any ransomware attacks. When one is detected, it blocks the malicious process and notifies the user with a pop-up. It also facilitates the instant recovery of affected files.
Acronis says the software uses behavioural heuristics enhanced by machine-learning models, which are generated by analysing hundreds of thousands of malicious and legitimate processes in Acronis's Cloud AI infrastructure.
The models are directly incorporated into the free product; it doesn't need an internet connection to run. We're told it's effective at defeating all ransomware strains, including zero-day attacks that signature-based solutions cannot detect.
Quote : " Ransomware viruses can’t infect your system on Acronis’ watch. Our technology monitors your system in real-time, distinguishing normal activities from suspicious ones like unauthorized encryption. By recognizing bad behavior, it spots ransomware whether the strain is known or not. "
Bold statements and just talk the talk or actually also walk the walk?
