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.
Backup protects data, but it does not guarantee recovery after a ransomware attack. Modern threats often target operating systems, infrastructure, and backup environments themselves. This article explains why organizations must go beyond backup and implement automated system recovery, cleanroom recovery environments, and cyber-resilient disaster recovery strategies.
Cyber resilience goes beyond traditional cybersecurity. It ensures organizations can withstand cyberattacks, recover infrastructure quickly, and maintain business operations. This guide explains how enterprise IT leaders can build a cyber resilience strategy using automated system recovery, cleanroom recovery environments, and continuous recovery assurance to minimize downtime and protect critical systems.
FSBlocker introduces kernel-level application-based file access control designed to protect critical data from ransomware and unauthorized modification. By intercepting file system calls and enforcing configurable policies, it prevents malicious encryption attempts and safeguards backup repositories, helping organizations strengthen cyber resilience and ensure the integrity of their recovery infrastructure.
# ## News: Cristie Software announces FSBlocker, a kernel-level driver for application-based access control of critical data.
Cristie Software has launched FSBlocker, a kernel-level driver providing application-based access control for Windows systems. It prevents unauthorized modification or deletion of critical data, including backup stores. The utility intercepts file system calls to block malicious encryption attempts, offering a robust defense against ransomware.
