Data server protection system with delayed replication and malicious modification prevention
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11956258B1) describes a system that includes multiple data servers, each providing data replication for a database and access to different versions of the database in real-time. The system incorporates data processing circuitry with data-replication-management capabilities to respond to potentially malicious modifications on the database. This includes granting authorized users access to the database, controlling replication activity based on configurable criteria, and determining the probability of malicious modifications by analyzing anomalous data access activity. If the threshold level is exceeded, replication of the modification on other versions of the database is prevented, ensuring data integrity and security.
Furthermore, the system allows for multi-level analysis based on security profile data to determine whether modifications should be permitted or prevented. The data processing circuitry can identify sensitive files, assess user authentication, and consider historical profiles of previous modifications to make informed decisions. By intentionally delaying user data transactions and queuing authorized transactions in response to potentially malicious modifications, the system ensures a recovery process can be performed to maintain the integrity of the database. This innovative approach to data replication and security management offers a comprehensive solution for protecting databases from unauthorized or malicious activities, enhancing overall data protection and integrity in real-time environments.
