Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of detecting ransomware among files using information that is not included in content of the files. The files are determined based on file-related operation(s) being performed on each of the files during a session of a cloud-based application. A subset of the files is determined such that each file in the subset has multiple file extensions during the session. A value, which is based on a number of the files in the subset, is compared to a threshold. A determination is made whether the files include the ransomware based on whether the value is greater than or equal to the threshold. An alert, which indicates that the files include the ransomware, is selectively triggered based on detection of whether the files include the ransomware.

Abstract: A key master service capable of operating on a service provider in a network enables is disclosed. The key master enables authorized parties to securely exchange client information without compromising client security. One feature of the key master service is the generation of a unique key for each client. All parties in an authorized universe access, exchange and modify client information by referencing the universal key, rather than using known client identifiers. Client information is further secured by advantageously applying an obfuscation function to the data. Obfuscated client information is stored together with the universal key as keyed client data at the client and/or server, where it may be directly accessed by the service provider or third parties. Because client information is stored and exchanged without the ability to discern either the client identity or the nature of the information, such information is secured against malicious third-party interception.

The learning model outputs a numerical value identifying a coefficient of harmfulness relating to a probability that the unknown file will prove to be harmful.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for protecting from directory enumeration using honeypot pages within a network directory. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may have an internal network that is utilized by employees, developers, and other end users within the organization of the service provider. When internal devices become compromised or internal users act maliciously, they may attempt to enumerate a directory to find hidden pages that have secret or sensitive data. The service provider may therefore detect a scan of an internal directory having files paths to files and pages and may deploy honeypot pages that change an error status. Further, the service provider may add a process or operation to log additional data on these honeypot pages and/or change a byte size of the corresponding pages to confuse the enumeration attempt and obtain true source information.
