Cyber Resilience Cyber Readiness: Why Disaster Recovery Isn’t Enough in Today’s Threat Landscape Better prepare for cyber threats with Cleanroom Recovery™. By Toussaint Brock | September 17, 2024 Traditional disaster recovery plans are proving inadequate against the sophisticated nature of modern cyberattacks that companies are facing now. These conventional strategies often lack the necessary agility and comprehensive testing mechanisms required for effective defense and rapid recovery post-incident. Traditional disaster recovery plans typically do not support cyber testing and are not designed for the swift recovery actions needed after a cyber breach. This limitation not only delays response times but also compromises the integrity of data recovery processes. Disaster recovery plans often fail to instill confidence and security, leaving organizations vulnerable to ongoing threats. Commvault Cloud® Cleanroom™ Recovery was purpose-built to address these shortcomings by providing a malware-free environment coupled with isolated recovery control planes. This advanced approach delivers a secure recovery process, protected from malware and other threats through virtually air-gapped storage. This solution includes frequent, cost-effective testing to ensure data cleanliness and readiness for recovery, thereby meeting stringent compliance demands with auditable evidence. Cleanroom Recovery leverages AI to scale recovery efforts, enabling rapid and reliable restoration of massive datasets. It incorporates built-in automation for straightforward implementation and operational ease. Furthermore, organizations can enhance their security posture by identifying and remediating vulnerabilities susceptible to ransomware attacks through built-in anomaly detection and comprehensive reporting. The encryption of data at-rest and in-transit, secure forensic analysis using malware-free hardware in isolated cloud environments, and the automation and orchestration of recovery processes underscore the robustness of Cleanroom Recovery. Regular testing and validation of cyber recovery plans are crucial for confirming preparedness and resilience against ransomware attacks, thus proving that traditional disaster recovery plans will not prepare organizations for the nuances of cyber threats.
