• Abstract: Modern cybersecurity landscapes increasingly demand sophisticated detection frameworks capable of identifying evolving threats with precision and adaptability. The proposed Zero-Space Detection framework introduces a novel approach that dynamically identifies latent behavioral patterns through unsupervised clustering and advanced deep learning techniques. Designed to address the limitations of signature-based and heuristic methods, it operates effectively in high-velocity environments by integrating multi-phase filtering and ensemble learning for refined decision-making. Experimental evaluation reveals high detection rates across diverse ransomware families, including LockBit, Conti, REvil, and BlackMatter, while maintaining low false positive rates and scalable performance. Computational overhead remains minimal, with average processing times ensuring compatibility with real-time systems even under peak operational loads. The framework demonstrates resilience against adversarial strategies such as obfuscation and encryption speed variability, which frequently challenge conventional detection systems. Analysis across multiple data sources highlights its versatility in handling diverse file types and operational contexts. Comprehensive metrics, including detection probability, latency, and resource efficiency, validate its efficacy under real-world conditions. Through its modular architecture, the framework achieves seamless integration with existing cybersecurity infrastructures without significant reconfiguration. The results demonstrate its robustness and scalability, offering a transformative paradigm for ransomware identification in dynamic and resource-constrained environments.
