RANSafe: Real Time Ransomware Defensive Application

Abstract: This project presents a real-time, AI-powered ransomware defense application designed to safeguard critical data against evolving cyber threats, with targeted deployment for academic institutions, individual users, government organisations, and data centers. The proposed system continuously monitors file and process activity, employing a combination of heuristic rules and advanced AI algorithms to detect and mitigate suspicious behavior. Upon ransomware detection, the application automatically blocks or terminates malicious processes, quarantines affected files, and securely preserves private encryption keys to enable safe data recovery without payment. Additionally, a rollback mechanism facilitates rapid restoration of recent files, while real-time notifications and a user-friendly dashboard support continuous monitoring and management. Lightweight, cost-effective, and cross platform, this solution advances indigenous cybersecurity capabilities in alignment with Atmanirbhar Bharat and smart automation initiatives, promoting resilience and self-reliance in digital security.
