Technology for storing legal hold data in the cloud (for example, in containers), where the source of the data stored in the cloud is independent backup copy(ies) that are maintained by an enterprise subject to a legal hold order. Changing the legal hold data as it is stored in the set of backup copy(ies) in a manner will not change the legal hold data as it is stored in the cloud. Mechanism may also be provided for auditing chain of custody and authenticating parties who request legal hold data to be delivered from cloud storage.

Storing legal hold data in cloud data storage units

A method, system, and program product for controlling power associated with connectivity between devices is provided. The method includes scheduling a copy function associated with copying data from a production hardware device to a secure hardware device at a specified time period. A first hardware connection between the production hardware device and a production network associated with the production hardware device is disabled during the specified time period and a second hardware connection between the production hardware device and the secure hardware device is enabled. A subsequent copy function is enabled for copying the data from the production hardware device to the secure hardware device. The second hardware connection between the production hardware device and the secure hardware device is disabled after the copy function has completed. In response, the first hardware connection between the production hardware device and the production network is enabled.

Device connectivity power control

A user can wear a device which emits a visual and/or audible output. The output changes over time. A system is capable of predicting the output. Thus, the system can analyze a video and determine, based on observed output of the device, whether the video has been modified. The output can be particularly difficult for humans to modify, detect, understand, or recreate, further impeding attempts to disguise edits to the video.

Wearable watermarks

A method for detecting ransomware. A set of control files in a set of locations in a file system is checked, by a computer system, in response to an event, wherein the set of control files has a set of extensions targeted by the ransomware. In response to detecting a change in any of the set of control files, a file copying process for the file system is disabled by the computer system.
