Your business continuity and disaster recovery strategy needs a rethink

Advanced preparation makes the difference between recovery and catastrophe when an extraordinary outage occurs—whether that’s due to a natural disaster, a cyberattack, or a human error. Yet only three out of ten organizations recently surveyed1 feel “very prepared” to recover their IT services in the event of a site failure or disaster. 

One of the underlying reasons for this low confidence in disaster recovery strategies is due to reliance on a patchwork of legacy products. They focus on protecting specific tiers of applications and meeting particular service levels, while today’s apps have varying service levels that span not only tiers but also on-premises and public cloud environments.

Dependence on different—and often multiple—point products for backup, continuous data protection, and automated disaster recovery results in a complex IT environment that is difficult to manage and makes it harder to easily conduct regular testing. Increased IT complexity also leads to increased downtime and data loss as well as increased TCO. In an ideal world, much of this can be simplified with an as a service model.

Such fragmented architecture is ill-equipped to address 24x7x365 operational requirements. To accelerate digital transformation, your organization needs a better approach to business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)–one that you can trust to avoid downtime and eliminate data loss.

A unified, policy-driven approach simplifies BCDR

Creating a strategy that embraces the shift toward cloud is becoming a vital aspect of modern DR. Planning, maintenance, and testing are also critical to being properly prepared to cope with a disaster, reports Forrester.1 As you continue forward with IT infrastructure modernization, adding a BCDR solution that unifies backup and automates DR in a single solution can boost your preparedness. Cohesity simplifies BCDR by converging snapshot-based backup, continuous data protection, and automating DR failover and failback orchestration across business-critical applications, service levels, and environments with near-zero downtime and no data loss. And this entire data resiliency stack can be deployed in any datacenter or consumed as a cloud service


Use Cases

  • Ransomware recovery: Restore clean data with confidence after an attack.
  • Regulatory compliance: Meet emerging mandates for recovery assurance and air-gapped protection.
  • Business continuity: Maintain uninterrupted operations with rapid, orchestrated data recovery workflows.

The pitfalls of DIY vaulting solutions

Some organizations attempt to build their own cyber vaults using cloud storage or extended backup infrastructure. While this may seem cost-effective upfront, DIY approaches often lead to major challenges:

  1. Complexity
    Custom solutions require stitching together infrastructure, security, and operational workflows, creating unnecessary risks and management overhead.
  2. Security gaps
    Homegrown vaults often lack true air-gapping, immutable storage, or fine-grained access controls, leaving critical data exposed to attack.
  3. Operational burden
    Manual processes for replication, access, validation, and recovery delay response times and increase the risk of human error.
  4. Lack of recovery assurance
    Without automation and integrated testing, organizations may not know if their vault data is clean or restorable until it’s too late.


Cohesity FortKnox: Purpose-built cyber vaulting

Cohesity FortKnox solves these challenges with a turnkey, cyber vaulting solution that is simple, secure, and scalable.

Key Benefits
  • Logical air gap
    Data is vaulted in an isolated cloud environment, separated by both network and access controls, ensuring attackers cannot reach it.
  • Immutability by design
    Vaulted data cannot be changed or deleted until retention periods expire, protecting against tampering.
  • Zero-trust security
    Multi-factor authentication, quorum-based access, and strict role-based controls ensure only authorized personnel can interact with the vault.
  • Rapid, orchestrated recovery
    Quickly recover clean data to any target on-prem or cloud using automated workflows and clean room validations.
  • Ransomware resilience at scale
    FortKnox supports bulk recoveries with built-in threat scanning and malware detection, ensuring confidence in restored data.
  • Operational simplicity
    Available as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or self-managed solution, FortKnox eliminates the complexity, enabling organizations to confidently recover from attacks while optimizing costs and maintaining compliance with security standards.

 

Why Cohesity FortKnox?

As organizations face rising cyber risk, Cohesity FortKnox offers a modern alternative to traditional backups and patchwork vaulting solutions. With built-in security, automation, and recovery intelligence, FortKnox helps enterprises recover faster, reduce risk, and stay resilient.
