Distributed systems, which have become an integral and inseparable component of the modern technology infrastructure, hold data protection in the highest regard. It is of utmost importance to safeguard the constantly expanding and growing amount of data that is present within these distributed systems, as the methods employed by malicious attackers are continuously evolving. This evolution necessitates a forward-thinking and proactive approach to the detection and containment of these attacks. In line with this, this scholarly article introduces a highly robust containment system that has been specifically designed to minimize the time required for recovery and to mitigate the impact of cyberattacks on distributed systems. The proposed system makes use of a comprehensive and all-encompassing set of techniques in order to accurately identify and effectively isolate compromised nodes within the distributed environment that has been targeted by an attack. By implementing this isolation process, the containment system successfully prevents any further damage from occurring and effectively halts any potential data breaches, all while ensuring the preservation and integrity of the existing files that reside within the compromised node. Ultimately, the true effectiveness and power of this system lies within its unique ability to automate the containment process, thereby enabling a rapid and efficient response to any cyberattack that may occur, resulting in minimal downtime and disruption.
