This Cybersecurity / Incident Response close is backups are clean enough from S3 bucket with customer objects set public, and the live options are Contain now, Monitor, Escalate.
DECISION Threat-intel lead in a law firm with a client-matter data store must choose Contain now / Monitor / Escalate / Hold using S3 bucket with customer objects set public after a backup job that has been silently failing for 19 days.
