Punjabi University’s Researcher Bhagwant Singh and Assistant Professor Dr. Sikandar Singh Cheema have patented a design to deal with malicious software ransomware.

Dr. Cheema and researcher Bhagwant Singh of department of computer science and engineering said that, this innovative portable device is equipped with advanced artificial intelligence technology to offer comprehensive protection against ransomware threats. Its compact size allows users to carry it with them wherever they go, ensuring continuous defense against ransomware attacks.

According to them, the device operates autonomously, minimizing the need for user intervention while maximizing security. key features include real-time protection, multi-layer defense mechanisms, and offline functionality, ensuring uninterrupted security even in remote environments.

The device continuously monitors file activities, system processes, and network traffic, swiftly responding to potential ransomware threats by initiating immediate actions to block malicious processes and prevent further encryption of files and data. In the event of a confirmed ransomware attack, the device isolates infected files and processes, quarantining them to prevent the spread of the ransomware.
