Expert Panel Wrap-up: Enhancing Cyber Resilience in Hybrid Work Environments

Microsoft, ESG experts share their knowledge.


How do you take an hour’s worth of viewpoints from a panel of leading experts and condense it into a 5-minute read, designed to provide actionable advice you can immediately use? That’s the challenge I posed to myself as I prepared to write this blog, so let me know if I delivered. As moderator of the panel, I will share that this group laid out sound guidance based on fresh research and 60+ combined years of data industry experience. You can listen to the full panel discussion ici.

Les intervenants : Ken Malcolmson, conseiller en chef en matière de sécurité chez Microsoft ; Tony Palmer, analyste principal en validation chez Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) ; et Dalton Hirst, ingénieur commercial senior chez Commvault.

Leur objectif : fournir des recommandations et des conseils éprouvés sur la manière de mieux se préparer à la prochaine cyberattaque. Quelles mesures immédiates pouvez-vous prendre pour éviter les perturbations et le chaos lorsqu’elle se produira ? Bien qu’une mine de connaissances et d’expériences ait été partagée, voici quelques points clés :

La reprise après incident informatique n’est pas la même chose que la reprise après sinistre

Tony shared ESG’s research validating that “89% of those interviewed ranked ransomware as a top 5 threat to their organization, and that the ability to recover to a clean environment is essential to cyberattack recovery – and that cyber recovery is not the same as disaster recovery, so you need an entirely new plan and process. What you did for disaster recovery will not work when a cyberattack hits.”

En résumé, une nouvelle approche et un nouveau plan s’imposent si vous souhaitez réussir à protéger votre entreprise lorsque la prochaine attaque visera votre organisation.

You have to be able to trust your backups – and restore to a clean environment

Ken emphasized the importance, when it comes to recovery after a cyber incident, of knowing that you have a trusted clean environment and that you have a process in place to restore your clean data to clean infrastructure. 

Ken shared that “you must have backups, you must test your backups, and you must trust your backups.” He added, “that’s where I see the value in both Commvault Cloud and Cleanroom Recovery come into play. If I’m in a panic and trying to recover, I want to be 100% sure the data I’m recovering is trustworthy, and that’s where the Commvault piece comes in, and I want to make sure that where I’m restoring to is also trustworthy, and that’s the Commvault Cleanroom Recovery solution. That’s it.” 

Une protection simplifiée pour Microsoft 365 est essentielle à la productivité

Microsoft 365 is central to the productivity of most organizations, and enhancing its protection is crucial. Dalton discussed the simplicity of Commvault’s M365 cyber resilience solution. With it, he shared that customers “can now go in, select the data they need to restore, and restore it as needed.” This capability is crucial for responding to user requests efficiently, particularly under the stress of potential data loss scenarios.

After the live demo, Ken added, “I love the simplicity [of the Commvault] approach. When customers are panicking and trying to recover their data [in M365], they don’t want to have to click through menus and different options … there’s my recovery point, that’s the data that’s in there, go. I love that!”

Plan, test – and when you need to recover, it’s got to be clean

As the session wrapped up, Tony provided his closing advice: “In a nutshell, cyber resilience really requires a detailed and secure cyber recovery plan, and you need to do that regular, auditable testing to ensure that you can recover quickly and more importantly, into a clean environment that’s free from infection. In our testing and our research and our analysis, Enterprise Strategy Group confirmed very clearly that Commvault Cleanroom Recovery delivers what’s needed to accomplish all this. You can literally, with a click, recover into an assured clean environment.”
