Computer-implemented methods, systems comprising computer-readable media, and electronic devices for resource preservation and intervention within a network computing environment

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for resource preservation and intervention. The method may include: enumerating a plurality of resources within a network computing environment based on data elements relating to activities and/or resources in the environment; classifying the resources under one of a plurality of pre-defined categories; based on the classification, assigning a plurality of enabled action programs to each of the resources, wherein execution of the enabled action programs causes pre-determined changes in the behavior and/or capabilities of the corresponding one of the resources; based on the classification of the resources, applying one of a plurality of data preservation programs to resources within the environment, wherein execution of the data preservation programs causes collection of corresponding pre-defined resource data; and, for each of the resources, exposing the corresponding pre-defined resource data and the assigned enabled action programs to and for use via a client device.
