## Goal{% #goal %}

Detect when Checkpoint's Anti-Ransomware solution raises a ransomware infection alert.

## Strategy{% #strategy %}

This rule monitors Checkpoint Quantum Firewall logs for when a ransomware infection is detected by the Anti-Ransomware product. This rule uses the third-party detection method to create a signal with the same serverity as the event severity (`@checkpoint_firewall_severity`).

## Triage and response{% #triage-and-response %}

1. Investigate the Checkpoint alert to determine if it is malicious or benign.
1. If the alert is benign, consider including the user or host in a suppression list.
