  • Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP)

Answer

  • No, NetApp does not provide concrete examples for making such determinations.
  • When evaluating whether a detection is a false positive or a potential ransomware attack, the final judgment must be made by the customer, based on their specific environment and context.
  • The basic approach involves manually inspecting each affected file or using security tools to assist in the analysis.
  • Additionally, a broader assessment can be made by considering factors such as the file’s location, intended use, and file type.
