Abstract
Data recovery from a cyber-attack is expedited based on data storage management integration with cyber threat deception. A cyber threat detection and deception system analyzes a “deposit” placed by an attacker at a deception trap, identifies distinguishing attributes of the deposit, and determines which subset of real data assets may be at risk, preferably based on subnet/VLAN proximity to the attacker's deposit. By focusing immediate attention on the subset of at-risk assets, a data storage management system shortens the amount of time needed to identify safe copies and components and to prepare them for recovery. Storage operations involving the at-risk assets are suspended and users are not shown at-risk assets and cannot invoke recovery or copy operations for them. Without the focus on at-risk assets provided by the cyber threat detection and deception system, the data storage management system would take much longer to navigate its backup data stores.
