The 5 Pillars of a Cyber Resilience Framework

Cyber threats are inevitable. A modern cyber resilience framework helps organizations protect critical data, minimize downtime, and recover confidently from cyber incidents.

Cyber Resilience Framework

A modern cyber resilience framework helps organizations prepare for, withstand, recover from, and adapt to cyber incidents while maintaining critical business operations.


Pillar 1: Protection

Reduce Risk Before an Attack Occurs.

Protect critical data, applications, and infrastructure with immutable backups, Zero Trust, and hybrid cloud security to enable trusted recovery after cyber incidents.


Pillar 2: Detection

Identify Threats Before They Spread.

Continuously monitor backup and production environments to detect ransomware and other threats early — helping reduce attacker dwell time and enable faster, more confident recovery.


Pillar 3: Recovery

Restore Trusted Operations With Confidence.

Recover clean, trusted data with automated, orchestrated workflows that prioritize critical applications, minimize downtime, and help reduce the risk of reinfection.


Pillar 4: Validation

Continuously Prove Recovery Readiness.

Continuously validate backups and recovery plans through automated testing to enable fast, confident system restoration after a cyber incident occurs.


Pillar 5: Operational Continuity

Keep the Business Running During Disruption.

Maintain critical business operations during cyber incidents with recovery prioritization, cross-functional coordination, and continuity planning to help minimize downtime.
