| contents | The increasing sophistication of cyber threats has necessitated the development of advanced detection mechanisms capable of identifying and mitigating ransomware attacks with high precision and efficiency. A novel framework, termed Decentralized Entropy-Driven Detection (DED), is introduced, leveraging autonomous neural graph embeddings and entropy-based anomaly scoring to address the limitations of traditional methods. The framework operates on a distributed network of nodes, eliminating single points of failure and enhancing resilience against targeted attacks. Experimental results demonstrate its ability to achieve detection accuracy exceeding 95\%, with false positive rates maintained below 2\% across diverse ransomware variants. The integration of graph-based modeling and machine learning techniques enables the framework to capture complex system interactions, facilitating the identification of subtle anomalies indicative of ransomware activity. Comparative analysis against existing methods highlights its superior performance in terms of detection rates and computational efficiency. Case studies further validate its effectiveness in real-world scenarios, showcasing its ability to detect and mitigate ransomware attacks within minutes of their initiation. The proposed framework represents a significant step forward in cybersecurity, offering a scalable and adaptive solution to the growing challenge of ransomware detection. |
