Abstract

Ransomware has become a major cybersecurity threat because it encrypts data, disrupts services, and evolves rapidly beyond conventional signature-based detection. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of deep learning-driven ransomware detection research, with emphasis on behavioral and dynamic analysis, API-call sequences, system calls, and future research directions. A total of 481 records were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection; after screening one retracted publication and two editorial materials, 478 eligible records remained. The eligible corpus was analyzed using Biblioshiny and Bibliometrix. Results show rapid growth from 2022 to 2025, with IEEE Access, Computers & Security, Sensors, Scientific Reports, and International Journal of Information Security among the prominent sources. Keyword and thematic analyses indicate a shift from static detection toward behavior-aware, sequence-based, explainable, and real-time ransomware detection. The findings highlight the need for robust datasets, cross-dataset validation, low-latency inference, explainable deep learning, and integrated detection systems for practical cybersecurity deployment.
