Abstract
An illustrative method includes determining, by a data protection system, that a dataset stored by a first storage system is possibly being targeted by a security threat while a data synchronization setting for the first storage system is enabled such that the dataset stored by the first storage system is synchronously replicated to a second storage system; and disabling, by the data protection system based on the determining that the dataset stored by the first storage system is possibly being targeted by the security threat, the data synchronization setting to prevent the dataset stored by the first storage system from being synchronously replicated to the second storage system.
