This abstract discusses modern methods and tools designed to protect computer systems from ransomware attacks. It emphasizes the need for continuous development of such tools in response to the evolution of threats and attack techniques. Various approaches are discussed, including network defense mechanisms, anomaly detection algorithms, and the utilization of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Current trends in tool development are analyzed, and recommendations for future research and practical applications are proposed.
