IBM Storage Defender Data Resiliency Service (DRS) - Introduction and Updates

Abstract

Cyber Attacks require a smarter approach to data resiliency beyond simply implementing backups and other types of data protection. We need to be able to detect attacks of various types as quickly as possible, including validating that recovery points are clean. We need to catalog all viable recovery points and be able to validate that the necessary levels of protection have been provided. We need to periodically orchestrate recovery tests so that we know for certain that recovery from different scenarios is possible.

The IBM Storage Defender Data Resiliency Service allows an organization to set up governance profiles that dictate the level of data resiliency any application requires, report upon compliance to those governance rules, organize critical assets into groups needed for a given application, detect cyber attacks in real time and via deep analysis and then be able to test recoveries of those application groups.

The Data Resiliency Service allows lines of business and Security Operations personnel the ability to see, at a glance, that the data resiliency service required for all critical applications is being provided, including orchestrated recovery testing.
