US Patent 11216559 Systems and methods for automatically recovering from malware attacks

The disclosed computer-implemented methods for automatically recovering from malware attacks may include (1) saving, in response to determining that a reputation of a process is unknown, a backup copy of a file on a remote storage device prior to allowing the process to modify the file; (2) determining, after the process has modified the file, that the process is potentially malicious; and (3) restoring, in response to determining that the process is potentially malicious, the backup copy of the file from the remote storage device. The provided methods may automatically recover computers from ransomware attacks and other malware attacks which encrypt file systems. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
