From threat detection to end-to-end cyber resilience

Cyberattacks are inevitable—which is why recovery should be your first line of defense, not your last resort. But traditional backup and recovery methods are no match for newer threats such as ransomware and insider attacks. Today's sophisticated threats demand an integrated cyber resilience strategy which can deliver cyber recovery capabilities that go beyond standard data protection. Think isolated recovery environments that attackers can't reach, immutable data copies they can't corrupt, rapid detection to identify clean backups and orchestrated workflows that restore operations quickly while ensuring data integrity

Cyber recovery solutions built for resilience

Build recovery into your data protection strategy and transform inevitable attacks from existential threats into manageable inconveniences with cyber recovery solutions from IBM.

Critical backup protection Your backup shouldn't need a backup

Leverage air-gapped vaults and immutable storage to create backup copies attackers cannot access or alter. Enable cybersecurity capabilities such as advanced malware scanning to validate backup integrity before restoration, ensuring you recover from verified, clean data.

Data resiliency Your resilience shouldn't be a gamble

Build cyber resilience with virtual sandboxes for safe testing, air-gapped protection, immutable snapshots and point-in-time recovery. Restore to the moment before attack and recover quickly from ransomware and sophisticated threats.

Isolated recovery Your safe zone shouldn't have a backdoor

Create secured enclaves for backup infrastructure separate from production networks. Your backup console operates in a protected zone, preventing attackers from reaching recovery capabilities through compromised credentials or lateral movement.

Security and compliance Your crisis plan shouldn't fail audits

Manage GDPR, HIPAA and other industry mandates through isolated recovery infrastructure with comprehensive audit trails. Track data assets, maintain chain of custody and demonstrate compliance during crisis scenarios.

Footnotes

1 IBM z17 systems, with GDPS, IBM DS8000 series storage with HyperSwap, and running a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform environment, are designed to deliver 99.999999% availability.

Disclaimer: IBM internal data based on measurements and projections was used in calculating the expected value. Necessary components include IBM z17; IBM z/VM V7.3 systems or above collected in a Single System Image, each running RHOCP 4.14 or above; IBM Operations Manager; GDPS 4.6 or above for management of data recovery and virtual machine recovery across metro distance systems and storage, including Metro Multi-site workload and GDPS Global; and IBM DS8000 series storage with IBM HyperSwap. A MongoDB v4.4 workload was used. Necessary resiliency technology must be enabled, including z/VM Single System Image clustering, GDPS xDR Proxy for z/VM, and Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF) 4.14 or above for management of local storage devices. Application-induced outages are not included in the above measurements. Other configurations (hardware or software) may provide different availability characteristics.
