Abstract

This paper discusses the evolution of ransomware in the cybersecurity space determining the threats of ransomware. The ransomware detection proposed in this method is based on machine learning algorithms. The proposed method applies sequences of the system API invocation as inputs. If an API log file is less than 10kb, it will not be executed properly and removed. As for the n-values, the best results are achieved when the n-value is an average of four.

Keywords
