بررسی روش‌های مقابله با حملات باج‌افزاری در چارچوب پیشگیری از جرایم سایبری

Abstract

Ransomware is a category of malicious software that encrypts users’ files and system resources, thereby restricting access to data and demanding a ransom, typically in the form of digital currency, in exchange for data recovery. This type of attack can target any individual or organization, as ransomware can be widely distributed through the internet. The aim of this study is to examine effective methods for mitigating ransomware attacks through a library-based review of published scientific research in the field of cybersecurity. The findings indicate that continuous user awareness and training, the use of strong encryption algorithms, the implementation of multi-layered security mechanisms, regular data backup practices, and the adoption of artificial intelligence–based intrusion detection platforms are among the most significant and effective strategies for reducing the impact of ransomware attacks.
