Software defined network traps for ransomware attacks

Abstract

An example computer system for providing countermeasures for a ransomware attack can include: one or more processors; and non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoding instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to: recommend one or more countermeasures once the ransomware attack is identified; switch access for a client device from an application layer to a software defined network layer including a software defined network trap having nodes; and restrict access when the client device fails to perform a task at a node of the software defined network trap.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
