Hi @PierazzoD there are a few ways that XDR can detect it. If Cortex XDR is installed after the malware is already in the process of encrypting files (e.g., ransomware), BTP's will protect against anything deemed suspicious/malicious, including ransomware-related activities. To ensure complete protection, it is recommended to restart the host after a successful agent installation and ensure the security profiles are configured and applied appropriately.
