Abstract
A newly created or modified object is sent to a networked local or remote server for analysis. While the object is being analyzed for vulnerabilities, the object is locked and made inaccessible to users, devices, and networks. If the object is identified as malicious, it may be marked for review, deleted, placed in quarantine, or have its permissions changed so that it cannot cause harm by propagating through the environment. Conversely, if the object is identified as safe, the risk of ransomware attacks may also be mitigated by replicating the object across multiple cloud storage platforms.
