As the digital landscape continues to evolve, so do the threats and challenges that businesses face. IT disaster recovery (DR) has traditionally focused on scenarios such as fires and loss of network connectivity, yet the majority of disruptions are happening as a result of cyber-attacks that deliberately target your backups and secondary hosting sites to cause maximum damage. Further compounding this challenge is the fact that most organizations have a mix of systems hosted on-premise, systems managed by third parties and SaaS solutions that need different recovery approaches.
This presentation will explore modern approaches to IT DR using both cloud and no-cloud options, with automation where possible. We will also discuss the typical causes of delays during recovery from cyber-attacks, and solutions for speeding up recovery in situations where incident response teams need time to do their forensics work but business operations need to resume.
