VAULT OVERWRITING AFTER PLC (PROTECTION LIFECYCLE) DESIGNATION DISALLOWANCE BY TRANSMISSION TO PUBLIC VAULT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18295338 titled 'VAULT OVERWRITING AFTER PLC (PROTECTION LIFECYCLE) DESIGNATION DISALLOWANCE BY TRANSMISSION TO PUBLIC VAULT
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for managing ransomware risks by monitoring a ransomware risk measure and taking actions to protect backup data when suspected ransomware is detected.
- When the ransomware risk measure indicates the presence of suspected ransomware, the system determines if it is time to overwrite a snapshot stored in backup data storage.
- If it is time to overwrite the snapshot, it is moved from the backup data storage to a vault to free up space for new snapshots.
- This process ensures that backup data is protected and available for recovery even in the presence of ransomware threats.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Monitoring ransomware risk measure to detect suspected ransomware processes.
- Automatically determining when to overwrite snapshots in backup data storage.
- Moving snapshots to a vault to free up space for new snapshots.
- Ensuring the availability of backup data for recovery purposes.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries that rely on data backup systems, such as healthcare, finance, and government sectors.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the problem of protecting backup data from ransomware attacks and ensuring the availability of data for recovery purposes.
Benefits:
- Enhanced security for backup data.
- Efficient management of backup storage space.
- Quick recovery from ransomware attacks.
Commercial Applications: Title: Ransomware Risk Management System This technology can be used by data storage companies, cybersecurity firms, and organizations with critical data to protect against ransomware threats and ensure data recovery.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of ransomware detection and mitigation strategies to explore existing technologies and solutions.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in ransomware detection and data protection to enhance the effectiveness of this technology.
Questions about Ransomware Risk Management: 1. How does this technology improve data security in the face of ransomware threats? 2. What are the key advantages of moving snapshots to a vault for protecting backup data?
Original Abstract Submitted
One method includes monitoring a ransomware risk measure, when the ransomware risk measure indicates the presence of a suspected ransomware process, determining if it is time to overwrite a snapshot stored in backup data storage, and when it is time to overwrite the snapshot, moving the snapshot from the backup data storage to a vault to free space in the backup data storage for new snapshots that continue to be taken after the presence of suspected ransomware is indicated.
