This paper introduces a cybersecurity framework that combines a deception-based ransomware detection system, called the Intrusion and Ransomware Detection System for Cloud (IRDS4C), with a blockchain-enabled Cyber Threat Intelligence platform (CTIB). The framework aims to improve the detection, reporting, and sharing of ransomware threats in cloud environments. IRDS4C uses deception techniques such as honeypots, honeytokens, pretender network paths, and decoy applications to identify ransomware behavior within cloud systems. Tests on 53 Windows-based ransomware samples from seven families showed an ordinary detection time of about 12 s, often quicker than tralatitious methods like file hashing or entropy analysis. These detection results are currently limited to Windows-based ransomware environments, and do not yet cover Linux, containerized, or hypervisor-level ransomware. Detected threats are formatted using STIX/TAXII standards and firmly shared through CTIB. CTIB applies a hybrid blockchain consensus of Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Work (PoW) to ensure data integrity and protection from tampering. Security analysis shows that an attacker would need to control over 71% of the network to compromise the system. CTIB also improves trust, accuracy, and participation in intelligence sharing, while smart contracts control access to erogenous data. In a local prototype deployment (Hardhat devnet + FastAPI/Uvicorn), CTIB achieved 74.93–125.92 CTI submissions/min, The number of attempts or requests in each test was 100 with median end-to-end latency 455.55–724.99 ms (p95: 577.68–1364.17 ms) across PoW difficulty profiles (difficulty_bits = 8–16).
