What Happens When You Press The Big Red Button In A Penetration Testing Programme?
‘Big red buttons’ are both terrifyingly ominous and mysteriously inviting. They can also be confusing – do you press it or do you not? Just ask Father Dougal from the 1990s sitcom Father Ted – and see how that sticky dilemma turned out for him. In this scenario, the big red button sits on your desk, right now, metaphorically speaking at least. Pressing it will trigger something powerful – a controlled, simulated cyber attack test.
Why Getting RTO And RPO Wrong Can Cost You More Than Just Data
The two most important acronyms in operational resilience are RTO and RPO. Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO), taken together, form the backbone of any disaster recovery and continuity strategy. However, many businesses miscalculate these critical parameters, leading to vulnerabilities far beyond mere data loss. Poorly defined RTOs and RPOs can erode customer trust, inflict financial damage, and even push businesses into regulatory hot water.
How Cyber Vaults Strengthen Your Data Recovery & Protection Strategy
Data recovery and protection have never been more critical. With a growing list of threats including ransomware, accidental data corruption, and insider risks, businesses now face a range of challenges that can severely disrupt their operations. Traditional data security measures, such as operational backups or mirrored systems, while still essential, are no longer always sufficient to provide ironclad protection against sophisticated attacks or unforeseen failures.
How Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery Strengthens Your IT Resilience
For IT managers tasked with protecting their organisations against unexpected disruptions and system failures, cloud-based disaster recovery (DR) provides a robust and reliable defence against a range of threats. By shifting disaster recovery to the cloud, organisations can achieve greater resilience, avoid the costs and limitations of cumbersome on-premises systems, and better align with today’s fast-evolving IT needs.
