Abstract
A method for processing files as a preemptive measure against a ransomware activity. The method comprises scanning a plurality of file operation requests sent to an operating system (OS) executed on a computing device to detect a guarded file operation request that comprises instructions to process a file managed by a file system used by said OS, delaying an execution of said guarded file operation request, temporarily storing a copy of said file in a backup storage in response to said detection of said guarded file operation request, and stop delaying said execution of said guarded file operation request when said copy is stored in said backup storage.
