Ransomware-safe restore
Restoring after an attack should not bring the infection back. Axionac's restore skips planted decoy files and works alongside threat protection.
Recovering from ransomware is the moment you least want to reintroduce the problem.
Safeguards during restore
- Decoy "canary" files are skipped during a restore, so recovery does not re-plant the bait or trip detection.
- Threat protection recognises the restore as legitimate activity, so a large recovery is not mistaken for an attack and blocked.
Isolate and clean the device first, then restore from a known-good backup point to bring it back safely.
