Abstract
A method, computing device, and non-transitory machine-readable medium for detecting malware attacks and mitigating data loss. In various embodiments, an agent is implemented in the operating system of a storage node to provide protection at the bottommost level in a data write path. The agent intercepts write requests and observes file events over time to detect anomalous behavior. For example, the agent may monitor incoming write requests and, when an incoming write request is detected, determine whether the file is associated with a malware attack risk based on an analysis of an encryption state of data in the file.
