Bridging the gap between defence and recovery

Cyber Recovery

Our experience working with clients has uncovered how the majority of organisations are not prepared to recover from today’s increasingly frequent and destructive cyber attacks. Leaders must rethink cyber resilience to ensure their organisation can recover critical assets with speed and confidence.

Cyber recovery poses new challenges

A successful cyber attack is a unique disaster scenario. Hosting environments, data and supporting services become untrusted and, as a result, effective recovery requires new capabilities. Organisations that fail to consider these factors can expect severe impact to delivery of key business processes and services in the event of a cyber attack.

Organisations must prioritise resilience and recoverability

While many organisations have invested in preventing cyber incidents, the majority have not considered how they will recover from them. Even those with isolated backup and vaulting solutions rarely consider the steps required to inspect, validate and recover data at speed. Facilitating these activities not only requires the right technical solution, but a structured approach to disaster recovery and business continuity. Among our clients we see common challenges in developing an effective recovery capability, including:

Limited understanding of likely cyber disaster scenarios;
The assumption that vaulting solutions will deliver effective cyber recovery;
Inability to identify dependencies, sequence recovery and align with existing business continuity and disaster recovery programs; and,
Lack of trusted environments for forensics and recovery.

Failure to meet these challenges will have a significant impact on an organisation’s ability to recover. In the event of a high-impact incident, those who are not adequately prepared can expect a long road back to normal operations, excessive financial costs and possible reputation damage.
