Abstract
A method includes detecting, by a security module of a dispersed storage network (DSN), a potentially compromised encoded data slice (EDS) of a set of EDSs. The potentially compromised EDS is stored in a storage unit of a set of storage units of the DSN. The method further includes monitoring other storage units of the set of storage units to detect one or more other potentially compromised EDSs of the set of EDSs. When the one or more other potentially compromised EDSs are detected, the method includes determining a data compromise threat level based on the potentially compromised EDSs and the one or more other potentially compromised EDSs and enabling an automatic data preservation protocol based on the data compromise threat level. The automatic data preservation protocol includes one or more of: one or more data preservation options, one or more data tracking options, and one or more notification options.
