CB Defense: Why didn't the sensor catch ransomware simulation tests?

CB Defense: Why didn't the sensor catch ransomware simulation tests?

Environment

  • CB Defense Sensor: All Versions
  • CB Defense Console: All Versions

Question

Why didn't the sensor terminate tests run by ransomware simulators?

Answer

Many ransomware simulators will run in an isolated folder created by the simulation rather than touching true user files. Defense will log updates to these files, but will not consider it ransomware until an actual user file is touched.
