Recoveries can be made to isolated networks facilitating cyber forensics or integrity testing within a cleanroom environment.
Cristie automation features reduced administration overhead significantly compared to the incumbent recovery workflow.
The Cristie Virtual Appliance provided recovery of both Windows & Linux based systems from a single platform.
Cristie Recovery NBMR for Dell Networker enhanced the protection provided by the Dell Cyber Vault environment.
Cristie recovery improved RTOs and provides ongoing RTO verification through scheduled recovery simulations.
Tiered recovery of critical customer-facing applications is automated reducing downtime to a minimum in the event of an outage scenario.
Having multiple customer interface points can broaden the attack surface for potential cybercrime. In this instance, a long established APAC charity organization providing many customer-facing services needed a faster system recovery process in the event of a cyberattack. The existing recovery process had scope for improvement, so a new automated solution was sought to meet internal Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). The new recovery solution would need to integrate seamlessly with existing data protection tools within a Dell Cyber Recovery Vault infrastructure. In addition, the ability to recover systems to a cleanroom environment for cyber forensics or integrity testing in isolation to the production environment was essential.
Using Cristie Recovery (NBMR) automation features in conjunction with the existing Dell Networker backup environment, the organization was able to eliminate 100s of hours in system recovery administration. Cristie recovery features provided customization to support multiple operating systems and network configurations including secure isolated air-gapped network infrastructures.Â
Recovery of systems supporting important customer-facing services such as payments, consisting of server estates numbering into the hundreds, was easily automated. The seamless integration with Dell Networker Data Protection Software provided full recovery from a single backup and enhanced the benefits of the Dell Cyber Recovery Vault platform to ensure system recovery could be easily comply with internal cyber recovery RTO directives.
Here’s an update on what’s new for the Cristie Virtual Appliance. The 5.3.1 release includes lots of new functionality including Continuous Recovery Assurance for Rubrik VM snapshots.
Cleanroom recovery is becoming essential in the fight against ransomware. By restoring systems in an isolated environment, organizations can validate integrity, eliminate hidden threats, and prevent reinfection. This approach ensures secure, reliable recovery of infrastructure, helping businesses minimise downtime and strengthen cyber resilience after sophisticated cyberattacks.
Modern ransomware targets entire infrastructures, not just data. Traditional backups often fail because they don’t restore operating systems or configurations. This guide explores building a cyber-resilient strategy using automated system recovery and cleanroom environments to bridge the gap between backup and full operational restoration, ensuring rapid recovery after a sophisticated attack.
When cyberattacks cripple critical infrastructure, organizations must rebuild systems quickly and securely. Bare metal recovery enables complete physical system recovery by restoring operating systems, applications, and data from trusted backups. Automated recovery solutions accelerate ransomware system recovery, reduce downtime, and help organizations restore operations rapidly after major cyber incidents worldwide.
