Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products provide a hybrid data scan pipeline or detector that reduces (as compared to conventional storage operations) response latency and increases scanning accuracy of encryption attacks such as ransomware attacks. For example, a frontend of a storage platform receiving an incoming data object may scan a portion of the data object for a change of an entropy level. The portion scanned may be insignificant relative to the overall size of the data object. As such, the operations of the frontend would place an insignificant delay to the overall storage processing. Other portions of the data object will be processed at a backend of the storage platform. For example, subsequent to receiving the data object, a change of entropy level of the other portions is scanned for detecting ransomware attacks.
