“…The investigation into the existence of a "kill switch" within ransomware, a mechanism purposefully crafted to discontinue the attack under specific scenarios, has also been a focal point [11,13]. An additional area of significant interest has been the detection of sandbox environments; a considerable number of ransomware variants are designed to detect such virtualized environments as a means to elude analysis [14,15,41]. The process of encrypting files located on network drives has garnered notable attention, as this requires ransomware to execute conspicuous network operations [2,16].…”

This research looks into the evolving dynamics of ransomware, shifting from conventional encryption-based attacks to sophisticated data exfiltration strategies. Employing the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model, the study analyzes network traffic patterns to detect ransomware activities, offering new insights into their covert operations. The findings emphasize the need for advanced AI tools in cybersecurity, highlighting the significance of adapting and innovating defense strategies to counter the changing landscape of ransomware threats. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of ransomware evolution and underscores the importance of integrating AI in cybersecurity practices.

“…A final aspect that needs to be configured concerns backup policies. The backups must guarantee that they can be restored quickly, minimising data loss in the event of disasters and protecting as far as possible against cyber-attacks [51]. Various parameters must be defined for data backup in the architecture described, which differ according to the service analysed.…”

This study analyses some of the leading technologies for the construction and configuration of IT infrastructures to provide services to users. For modern applications, guaranteeing service continuity even in very high computational load or network problems is essential. Our configuration has among the main objectives of being highly available (HA) and horizontally scalable, that is, able to increase the computational resources that can be delivered when needed and reduce them when they are no longer necessary. Various architectural possibilities are analysed, and the central schemes used to tackle problems of this type are also described in terms of disaster recovery. The benefits offered by virtualisation technologies are highlighted and are bought with modern techniques for managing Docker containers that will be used to build the back-end of a sample infrastructure related to a use-case we have developed. In addition to this, an in-depth analysis is reported on the central autoscaling policies that can help manage high loads of requests from users to the services provided by the infrastructure. The results we have presented show an average response time of 21.7 milliseconds with a standard deviation of 76.3 milliseconds showing excellent responsiveness. Some peaks are associated with high-stress events for the infrastructure, but the response time does not exceed 2 s even in this case. The results of the considered use case studied for nine months are presented and discussed. In the study period, we improved the back-end configuration and defined the main metrics to deploy the web application efficiently..
