As risks from cyber attacks, outages, data center failures, and more increase, traditional IT disaster recovery management is no longer sufficient for protecting your brand, data, and clients.
To prepare for cyberattacks, network outages, and other unplanned incidents, your disaster recovery tests should simulate real incidents as closely as possible. Incidents are never planned, so effective disaster recovery testing should mirror that and be conducted unannounced.
In order to have true confidence in your ability to recover quickly, surprise tests are the best predictor of disaster recovery success and can offer the most insight into how to modify processes and technology to better protect IT infrastructure.
Automated recovery plans
Build detailed, dynamic automated runbooks that choreograph every step of the recovery. Rehearse important resilience testing sequences to optimize plans and reduce risk.
Optimized recovery
Bring your teams and technology together to execute resilience testing and recovery with precision and efficiency. Harness automation to deliver data, automate repeatable processes, and coordinate effective communications.
Continuous improvement
Analysis is built in from the start and stakeholders are able to observe progress in real time. Make live adjustments to course correct during the recovery, then access the detailed audit trail afterwards for regulatory compliance and continuous improvement.
A British multinational bank needed to implement a comprehensive resilience solution. They were under regulatory scrutiny and needed the capability to pull together thousands of standardized service recovery plans (SRPs) into test scenarios in minutes rather than months.
Challenge: ITDR testing takes months
The existing home-grown system for resilience was insufficient and did not provide adequate planning, visibility, or communication to ensure success. It did not deliver the required level of resilience assurance they needed, or meet regulatory requirements.
Solution: Faster disaster recovery testing
Cutover provided a comprehensive operational resilience platform, hosting thousands of Service Recovery Plans that could be configured into various test scenarios in minutes.
Results: Testing done in minutes
The bank reduced their time to test from 12 weeks down to 2, saving significant time and resources. The team running the event is now better informed during data center tests, helping them to make better decisions.
