Abstract: Methods and devices for recovering data may include receiving an identification of at least one file on the computer device impacted by a cyber threat. The methods and devices may include receiving a last known good time stamp for the at least one file that identifies a point in time prior to the cyber threat. The methods and devices may also include transmitting, to a remote backup provider associated with the at least one file, a restore request to restore the at least one file with restored content based at least on the last known good time stamp. The methods and devices may include receiving, from the remote backup provider, a restored file with the restored content.

Abstract: A digital input interface is provided which can be checked for its reliability. The configuration of the circuit on the input side allows a high impedance for a DC input signal and a low impedance for induced AC noise, naturally attenuating any AC induced noise while maintaining the DC input signal. The interface also provides a latent failure detection engine. The latent failure detection engine can open and close an optocoupler on the input side of the interface, which discharges and charges a capacitor on the input side. The time taken for the capacitor to recharge when the optocoupler is re-opened is used to determine if there has been any threshold decay in the interface.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to removing malware from a computer system. In aspects, an anti-malware engine detects malware and writes a tool onto a storage device. The anti-malware engine disguises the tool to make it more difficult for malware to detect that the tool is on the storage device. In addition, the anti-malware engine encrypts and writes remediation actions to be taken by the tool to the storage device and requests that the computer reboot. After rebooting, the computer executes the tool which takes the remediation actions including removing the malware.
