I heard it checks against VirusTotal, but not sure if that's enough.

I disagree, monitoring unauthorized access is key too.

Wait, it doesn't just rely on signatures? That's surprising!

I thought the lookup against VirusTotal was a key part of ransomware detection, but I’m not confident if that’s what CyberArk uses.

I feel like the feature could also be linked to comparing signatures, but I can't recall if that's how CyberArk specifically does it.

I remember something about sandboxing and heuristics from our practice questions. That could be related to option B, right?

I think the ransomware protection feature might involve monitoring file access, but I'm not entirely sure if it's specifically about unauthorized access.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not too familiar with CyberArk EPM, so I'll need to carefully read through the options and try to eliminate the ones that don't seem right.

If the correct answer isn't option B, I'm going to need a stiff drink. Sandboxing is the only way to be sure, you know?

Comparing known ransomware signatures in option A? That's so 2015! We need a more sophisticated solution to keep up with the latest threats.

Option D is interesting, but relying solely on VirusTotal could be a bit outdated. Ransomware is constantly evolving, so a more proactive approach is needed.
