Ransomware Protection with True Protection

Ransomware Protection

Ransomware is a critical threat that encrypts your files and demands payment for their release. True Protection by Jag includes multi-layered ransomware defense to keep your data safe.

How Ransomware Protection Works

• Behavior-Based Detection: Monitors file system activity for rapid encryption patterns characteristic of ransomware attacks. If a process begins encrypting files at an unusual rate, it is immediately suspended.
• Protected Folders: Designate critical folders (Documents, Photos, Desktop, and others) as protected. Only trusted applications can modify files within these folders.
• Honeypot Files: True Protection places invisible decoy files across your system. If any process modifies these files, it triggers an immediate ransomware alert.
• Automatic Backup: Files targeted by a suspected ransomware process are automatically backed up before modification, allowing instant recovery.

Setting Up Protected Folders

• Step 1: Navigate to Settings > Ransomware Protection.
• Step 2: Click Manage Protected Folders.
• Step 3: Add any folders containing important data you want to protect.
• Step 4: Review the list of trusted applications that are allowed to modify protected files.

Recovery from a Ransomware Attack

If True Protection detects and stops a ransomware process, it will automatically restore any files that were modified during the brief attack window. Navigate to Tools > Ransomware Recovery to review and restore affected files.
