It's a worst-case scenario but an increasingly common one. More cyber attacks are being designed to silently corrupt backup data. Once these attacks are activated, organizations have no way to restore good backup data in time to meet SLAs.
Cyber resiliency goes beyond DR and business continuity (BC) solutions. By programmatically testing the integrity of backup data and isolating its flow, organizations can recover when DR and BC systems are compromised.
WWT's cybersecurity practice applies a methodology that gives organizations the business acumen, customized architectures and operational discipline they need to recover from catastrophic cyber events.
Because cyber resilience defends against corporate-wide attacks, it's critical to understand where the business holds the most risk. CISOs need to understand board-level objectives and concerns. CEOs, COOs and CFOs need to understand the business value of cyber resilience.
We help CISO organizations:
While DR and BC solutions reside within IT, cyber resilience starts at the CISO organization. This means incorporating a governance model that encompasses business, architecture and operations.
We help CISO organizations:
Meeting mandated recovery point and recovery time objectives during a catastrophic cyber event requires automating multiple systems across the enterprise. We find that relying on a single vendor's solution is cost prohibitive as too many existing investments must be ripped and replaced due to their interdependence.
We help CISO organizations:
Continuously validating backup recovery is key to cyber resiliency. Organizations must establish an automated CI/CD pipeline for testing, but they also must train personnel for when a catastrophic cyber event occurs.
