Abstract
A computer-implemented method for modifying file backups in response to detecting potential ransomware may include (1) detecting, during a file backup process, an anomaly that is potentially indicative of ransomware on a computing device, (2) in response to detecting the anomaly that is potentially indicative of ransomware, storing a backup copy in a separate location from other backup copies, (3) confirming that the anomaly is indicative of ransomware on the computing device, (4) adjusting a backup policy in response to confirming that the anomaly is indicative of ransomware on the computing device, and (5) managing the backup copy based on the adjusted backup policy. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
