Abstract
Ransomware detection and/or isolation and/or remediation of a ransomware-encryption device is performed in a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) system environment. The RMM system is operatively associated with monitoring and managing a plurality of devices and, according to an exemplary embodiment, the RMM system includes a RMM agent module locally installed on each device, a cloud-based RMM platform operatively communicating with each device RMM agent module, and a Ransomware Detection (RD)/Isolation module locally installed on each device. The RD/Isolation module locally detects a potential ransomware-encryption in one or more files received by the device and the RMM system isolates a ransomware affected device using a locally executed script provided by the cloud-based RMM platform.
