Cloud based dead drop for isolated recovery systems
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for storing data, comprising:
- allocating, by an isolated recovery system (IRS), storage space in the IRS, wherein the IRS comprises a replicated data retriever operatively connected to an object repository of an intermediate object store (IOS);
reading an object from the object repository of the IOS for a production computing system (PCS) operatively connected to the IOS; and
writing object contents extracted from the object in the storage space,wherein the IRS restricts the initiation of incoming connections from the IOS and the PCS to minimize exposure to cyber threats.

Abstract
A method and system for implementing a cloud-based dead drop for isolated recovery systems. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail the interjection of an object store as an intermediate storage relay between a production system and an isolated recovery system. The object store minimizes, if not eliminates, the exposure of data secured in the isolated recovery system from external cyber threats and attacks, as well as launches the deployment of the isolated recovery system as a service that may support any system.

7. A system, comprising:
-
a production computing system (PCS); an intermediate object store (IOS) comprising an object repository operatively connected to the PCS; and an isolated recovery system (IRS) comprising a replicated data retriever operatively connected to the object repository, and programmed to; allocate storage space in a persistent storage of the IRS; read an object from the object repository; and write object contents extracted from the object in the persistent storage, wherein the IRS restricts the initiation of incoming connections from the IOS and the PCS to minimize exposure to cyber threats. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor, enables the computer processor to:
-
allocate, by an isolated recovery system (IRS), storage space in the IRS, wherein the IRS comprises a replicated data retriever operatively connected to an object repository of an intermediate object store (IOS); read an object from the object repository of the IOS for a production computing system (PCS) operatively connected to the IOS; and write object contents extracted from the object in the storage space, wherein the IRS restricts the initiation of incoming connections from the IOS and the PCS to minimize exposure to cyber threats. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
