- Once installed, it silently encrypts files before displaying a ransom demand
- Paying the ransom does not guarantee file recovery — and funds more attacks
- McAfee Ransom Guard monitors file activity for encryption behaviour
- Suspicious mass file encryption triggers an automatic block and alert
- Regular backups are essential — McAfee integrates with cloud backup services
