Hey everyone — been a Vision One user for about 9 months now, primarily for protecting our analytics pipeline servers. I handle a lot of data integration tools (think Fivetran, Airbyte) and those systems are critical, so ransomware protection is a big deal for our team.
I’ve been testing the ransomware rollback feature in a staged environment. On paper, it’s exactly what you want: detects an encryption attack, kills the process, and automatically restores files from local cache. In my tests with simulated attacks, it worked pretty well for isolated incidents on a single machine. The rollback happened fast, and files were restored to their last known good state without needing a full backup restore.
But here’s the real-world catch — it relies heavily on that local cache. If the attack is widespread and hits the cache itself or the system volume before detection, you might be in a tougher spot. Also, the feature needs the “Behavior Monitoring” module enabled and properly tuned. I’d love to hear from others running it in production:
- Have you seen it trigger on a real attack? Did it fully recover the affected workloads?
- Any gotchas with networked drives or databases (like a Postgres instance we run for transformation logs)?
- How’s the performance overhead during normal ops?
It feels like a solid safety net for the kind of targeted, small-scale encryption attempts, but I’m curious about its limits in a broader breach scenario.
