Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and software to provide ransomware detection using variable levels of encryption. In one implementation, a computing device identifies a set of files, wherein the set of files each comprise a label indicative of whether the file is representative of a safe file or a file attacked by ransomware, and wherein the set of files comprises unencrypted files, partially encrypted files, and fully encrypted file. The computing device further identifies features associated with the set of files and generates a machine learning model that outputs a determination of whether a new file has been attacked based at least on the features in relation to whether a file in the set of files was labeled as attacked.
