It is possible that it could be detected by signature (after receipt of sample/s), if the process that does the encryption can be detected and the alarm raised then the encryption can't take place.
The problem that is being talked about is the cracking of the encryption key so that the files can be decrypted, which has nothing to do with the detection pre-encryption but repair after infection
