Cyberattacks have evolved into a pervasive and sophisticated threat, posing a significant danger to organizations of all sizes. The ever-changing nature of cyber threats necessitates a new way of thinking when it comes to cyber resilience. Despite deploying the best perimeter security out there, the odds of bad actors getting in are very high. With that in mind, how can you help ensure that you can quickly recover when that day comes and, equally as important, how can you TEST your recovery in advance to make sure your plans are going to work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleanroom Recovery<\/a>, introduced in November and available today supporting software virtual machine (VM) workloads, gives organizations the knowledge to help avert attacks, defend against bad actors, and restore environments to a secure state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, Cleanroom Recovery also provides a safe and isolated environment where organizations can easily test their cyber recovery plans without disrupting production systems. This environment allows organizations to identify and address gaps in their plans before an actual attack occurs. Cleanroom environments also provide forensic analysis of known infected systems and provide analysis that helps organizations understand the root cause of the attack\u2014critical information to prevent future incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleanroom Recovery should be a primary pillar in every organization\u2019s cyber resilience strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s Cyber Recovery Reality: It\u2019s Not Easy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The frequency and severity of cyberattacks have escalated dramatically in recent years, posing a substantial threat to organizations across all industries. These attacks can have devastating consequences, including data breaches, financial losses, and irreparable reputational damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent survey by The Futurum Group<\/a> 98% of respondents indicated that data recoverability influences their resilience against ransomware attacks, with three-quarters of respondents suggesting that it is very or critically influential. Effective cyber recovery is crucial for organizations to minimize downtime, restore business operations, and safeguard their reputation after a cyberattack. However, many organizations struggle to adequately testtheir cyber recovery plans, leaving them vulnerable to real-world attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evolving hybrid world, organizations must adhere to different legislative mandates that come into play. Specifically, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) frameworks have become top of mind for organizations. These legislative practices are mandating the requirements for testing, putting the responsibility on enterprises to be prepared with continuous testing that will help organizations avoid massive penalties and fines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizations must continuously test their recovery approach to ensure a frictionless, rapid return to business operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
