Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery refers to solid backups and an organization’s ability to respond to and rebound from significant events that disrupt its operations or infrastructure. It involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating disasters, along with devising strategies for recovery.

In the event of a cyber-attack, having a robust disaster recovery plan is crucial for swift and efficient problem resolution. Every minute lost without such a plan can escalate both the cost of damages and the recovery timeline, underscoring the importance of preparedness.

A disaster recovery plan is a documented strategy outlining how an organization will restore access to compromised systems and infrastructure following various catastrophic events, including cyber-attacks, human errors, or natural disasters. It involves a systematic approach to allocate resources effectively and regain control over critical data and information systems.

Disaster recovery operates on two fronts: maintenance and recovery. Maintenance involves replicating and backing up data to designated restore points to ensure readiness, while recovery entails responding to incidents to restore functionality and control over affected systems. Effective disaster recovery plans anticipate threats and undergo regular testing to validate their efficacy in real-world scenarios.
