Abstract

Ransomware has emerged as one of the most devastating forms of cybercrime in the modern digital era. This research examines ransomware attack patterns, analyzing the distinct phases through which these attacks are executed, the detection techniques employed to identify them, and the prevention and recovery strategies organizations can adopt to minimize damage. [1,4] By synthesizing current research and real-world case studies, this research provides a comprehensive overview of how ransomware operates and how individuals and organizations can defend against it. Findings indicate that a multi-layered security approach — combining behavioral detection, network segmentation, employee training, and immutable backups — offers the most robust defense against ransomware threats.
