US 12,694,095 B1 · Cyber recovery to compromised production environment using microsegmentation

Abstract

A computerized method and system is provided herein for enabling recovery of critical assets to a corrupted production environment prior to resolution of a security incident responsible for the corruption. Micro-segmentation and zero trust principles are applied to a production environment and a vault environment of a cyber-recovery system. Communities of interest (COIs) are created within the micro-segmented production environment, the vault environment, and a combination thereof (i.e., some production environment components can communicate with vault components). The verified security of the components within each COI ensures that only clean data is restored from a vault clean room to a production clean room within the production environment that is corrupted from the security incident.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method of restoring one or more critical assets to a production environment, the method comprising:

receiving an indication a security incident is occurring, wherein the security incident corrupts the production environment and creates a corrupted production environment;
identifying a clean copy of each of a plurality of critical assets, wherein a critical asset is an asset that is flagged as prioritized during a cyber-recovery to restore to the production environment;
dynamically generate a clean room in the corrupted production environment;
establishing a secure connection between the clean room in the corrupted production environment and a clean room in a vault, wherein the secure connection utilizes zero trust principles, and wherein the production environment and the vault are micro-segmented into a plurality of communities of interest;
and
transmitting, to the clean room in the corrupted production environment, the clean copy of each of the plurality of critical assets.
