Abstract
The present disclosure includes methods and systems for protecting network resources. An exemplary method comprises starting, by a processor, copy-on-write snapshotting for modifications to a plurality of files in storage, the modification initiated by a suspicious application, detecting, by the processor, a modification of a file of the plurality of files, determining, by the processor, whether the file is stored on a shared network resource or a local resource, in response to determining that the file is stored on a shared network resource, determining, by the processor, that a current region being modified is not already saved in a snapshot, and if the current region is not saved, saving the current region to a snapshot, marking, by the processor, the current region as being saved and analyzing all saved regions that were modified for malicious activity to determine that the suspicious application modifying the saved regions is malicious.
