MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611107241 A) filed by Graphic Era Deemed To Be University on September 07, 2026, for A System And Method For Real-Time Ransomware Detection, Trusted Snapshot Management, And Automated Data Recovery.
Inventors include Kapil Chand; Varun Dobhal; and Prof. Dr. Mohammad Wazid.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to cybersecurity and data protection for desktop and laptop computing systems, and provides an integrated runtime protective service that continuously monitors selected files and directories, captures file-system events, and applies an adaptive risk analysis engine to distinguish benign activity from ransomware-like anomaly patterns and calculate a risk score. Upon indication of potential ransomware behavior, a snapshot generation component creates trusted snapshots, while a backup engine maintains incremental backups, secondary backups, and external backups. Candidate recovery points are subjected to integrity checking, manifest checking, and recovery journal checking by a trust verification component, after which an Automated Recovery Decision Engine selects a best suitable verified snapshot that is not tampered, and a file restoration component restores impacted files automatically. The invention advances existing approaches by combining real-time detection, trusted snapshot validation, and automated recovery in one operating pipeline for rapid, reliable restoration. Fig. 1.
