Stopping Fog Ransomware Early with AI Network Security Tools

Fog ransomware emerged in May 2024 as a novel ransomware strain developed by attackers to move through targeted networks, encrypt files, and steal data in as little as two hours.



Darktrace’s AI cybersecurity quickly identified and stopped Fog cyber-attacks, with autonomous responses that isolated affected devices and blocked suspicious connections to neutralize attacks before they could progress. Unlike traditional network security tools that rely on known attacks, Darktrace defended our customers from this new and novel threat.
