In this riveting episode by IBM Technology, they delve into the thrilling world of disaster recovery and operational resilience. Picture this: tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, and even black hat hackers lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment. Disaster recovery, the stalwart pillar of defense against natural calamities, stands tall, shielding data centers from the wrath of these destructive forces. But wait, there's a new player in town - operational resilience. This modern-day hero combines disaster recovery with the relentless threat posed by black hat hackers, the cunning adversaries who can infiltrate systems and wreak havoc for extended periods.
Unlike the brute force of tornadoes and hurricanes, black hat hackers operate with precision and strategy, making them a formidable foe. These cyber villains, often operating globally, pose a continuous threat, with ransomware attacks originating from various corners of the world. State actors and ransomware groups play different games - one seeks widespread data destruction, while the other aims for financial gain. Backups, a traditional safety net, can be compromised by hackers, turning a recovery attempt into a nightmare scenario.
Recovery objectives such as RPO and RTO are crucial in both disaster recovery and operational resilience, but the latter demands additional layers of protection like immutable snapshots to thwart hacker interference. The recovery timeline differs vastly between natural disasters and cyberattacks, with the average recovery time for cyber incidents hovering around 23 days. The likelihood of natural disasters may be low, but the ever-looming threat of cyberattacks necessitates a shift towards operational resilience. Disaster recovery lays the groundwork, but true preparedness lies in embracing operational resilience to combat the unpredictable forces of nature and the calculated strikes of cyber adversaries.
