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.
