What actually happens in a ransomware attack? Is it simply stopped, or are dangerous processes able to keep running or do components remain in the system? AV-TEST utilized 10 scenarios with ransomware currently deployed for attacks and their attack techniques SysWhispers, Reflective DLL Injection and Reflective DLL Loading, thus attacking security software for corporate users and consumer users under Windows 11. In the process, each individual attack step was analyzed and documented. Only by doing so is it possible to illustrate a detailed map of an attack, showing how the security solutions react. The comprehensive test, including a study, belongs to the series of Advanced Threat Protection tests, rendering major insights into the performance of cyber-security solutions.
