Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed are directed to a computing system that performs steps to forensically isolate a compromised storage resource (e.g., bucket) of a production cloud computing and storage environment. In response to detecting an unauthorized access to resources (e.g., objects) stored in storage resource of the production cloud computing and storage environment, the computing system deploys a forensic isolation application that freezes the compromised storage resource so that a forensic analysis can be performed, duplicates the compromised storage resource's resources, and stores the duplicate resources as forensically isolated resources in a storage device outside of the production cloud computing and storage environment. The forensic isolation application then stores the duplicate resources as operational resources. Subsequently, the forensic isolation application reroutes authorized requests for the frozen resource to the operational copy of the frozen resource.
