Autonomous Ransomware: AI-Driven Threats & Defence

Overview of Autonomous Ransomware

 Autonomous ransomware refers to malicious software that can operate independently, executing attacks without direct human intervention. This type of ransomware is designed to automatically infiltrate systems, encrypt files, and demand ransom from victims.

Key Characteristics

• Self-Propagation: Autonomous ransomware can spread across networks and devices without user interaction.

• Automated Execution: It can initiate attacks, encrypt files, and deliver ransom notes automatically.

• Adaptive Learning: Some variants may employ machine learning to adapt to security measures and improve their effectiveness.
