Abstract
Attributes of snapshots are provided that ensure snapshot preservation and enable utilization of snapshots to be restricted. If a cyber intrusion event is detected, fence attributes are set on snapshots that were created after the time of the possible cyber intrusion event to restrict those snapshots from being used for cyber recovery until after the data contained in the snapshots has been validated. If a snapshot is selected for use, the fence attribute is checked and, if set, prevents the snapshot from being used until the data of the snapshot is validated. Additionally, keep attributes are set on snapshots that were created before the possible cyber intrusion event, to preserve those snapshots to prevent the snapshots from termination. If a snapshot is selected for termination, the keep attribute is checked, and if set, prevents the snapshot from being terminated until the keep attribute is reset.
