With continuous growth in ransomware, and newer malicious families emerging every month, the need for strong defensive methods increases every day. While expert-based systems are developed over time, this rate of growth in ransomware creates a need for self-evolving methods of defence that can learn from available data and improve over time. Deep learning methods, in particular, can provide this ability to improve learning with the increasing availability of data. This research proposes an alternative ransomware detection technique using deep learning, specifically Recurrent-Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN), which will speed up the training time and extract high level features to give more accurate classification. Consequently, our model has improved the classification accuracy of the existing systems to 98.00%. The comparisons with other state-of-the art peer approaches have proven that our empirical model is promising.
