Cyber Survival

Tagline: Defending the Data Fabric.

The architect’s shield against adversarial corruption. Focus: Ransomware detection patterns, secure restore workflows (YARA), and air-gapped defense-in-depth.

Visibility

Level 100: Entropy Logic

Change Rates: Detecting unusual data spikes.
Encryption Scans: Identifying files with high entropy (ransomware signature).
Honeypot Files: Placing bait for early detection.

Architect’s Verdict: Ransomware is a noisy attacker. If you are watching the metadata, you can catch it before it finishes the crawl.

Analyze Threat Logic

Execution

Level 200: Clean Recovery

Secure Restore: Anti-virus scanning during mount.
YARA Integration: Scanning for custom malware patterns.
Staged Recovery: Cleaning infected VMs in isolated VLANs.

Architect’s Verdict: Recovery is useless if it simply re-injects the malware into production. Verification is the shield.

Analyze Recovery Path

Assurance

Level 300: Secure Governance

Identity First: MFA for all restore operations.
Four-Eyes Approval: Requiring two admins to delete any data.
Log Immutability: Auditing the audit log to prevent track-covering.

Architect’s Verdict: In a Zero-Trust world, we trust no one—not even the super-user—with the survival of the enterprise.
