A disaster recovery plan is essential. But in times of increasing cyber threats and ransomware attacks, the question arises: Is a plan alone enough? The answer is a resounding no. The key to a truly robust DR strategy lies not only in the plan itself, but also in the smart management of your backup data.
The uncomfortable truth: A plan alone is not enough
Many companies have an SAP DR plan, but overlook one critical aspect: the location of their backup data. All too often, backups are stored in the same environment as production data. In the event of a hacker attack, this means that if your primary data is compromised, your backups may also be affected. A nightmare scenario for any IT manager.
The solution: separation is key
To be truly secure, your backup data must be physically and logically separated from your standard environment. Take advantage of the cloud with DR on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud. These platforms offer secure and scalable storage solutions. They separate your backup data from the production environment. They also have advanced security features that protect your backup data. And ideally, there is direct access to and from the DR environment.
