Abstract
Data creators and users face a near-constant threat of destructive malware, ransomware and other malicious activities that can alter or destroy critical data. Information such as financial records, transaction records, research data, and even the software to analyze and manipulate the data are typically targets. These types of data integrity attacks, especially when they target an entire organization, can have a catastrophic impact on an organization's credibility and ability to operate. This project explores methods to effectively recover and restore systems to normal operations after a data corruption attack. Here at the NCCoE, we take on projects to provide practical applications of cybersecurity solutions to real-world problems.
