Abstract

Ransomware attacks have become a predominant threat to cloud environments, necessitating robust and adaptive defense strategies. This manuscript delves into the intricacies of ransomware threats in cloud ecosystems, outlines current vulnerabilities, and presents adaptive strategies for mitigation and defense. By examining recent case studies, threat vectors, and evolving tactics, we aim to provide comprehensive guidance for securing cloud environments against ransomware. Our analysis is supplemented with best practices, advanced detection techniques, and recommendations for enhancing resilience against future ransomware attacks.
