In this episode, I speak with Darren Thomson, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for EMEA at Commvault, about Resilience Operations, commonly known as ResOps, and why cyber recovery now requires security, infrastructure, identity and data teams to work from one coordinated plan. Darren argues that many companies are accepting a difficult reality. Even with considerable investment in prevention and detection, a breach may eventually succeed. That does not make cybersecurity controls any less necessary, but it means recovery can no longer be treated as a secondary activity managed by another department. The problem is that security operations and infrastructure teams have traditionally worked toward different objectives. Security specialists concentrate on identifying and stopping threats. Infrastructure teams protect data, maintain backups and restore systems after outages. During a cyberattack, a successful recovery requires both sets of expertise. A backup administrator may be able to restore data quickly, but a forensic specialist must establish whether that data is clean. Without that confirmation, the company risks restoring malware and restarting the incident. Darren explains why a conventional disaster recovery plan may be particularly dangerous during ransomware. These plans were commonly designed for physical failures such as a lost data center. Data would be copied from one location to another so operations could continue. If the source data is infected, however, fast replication can carry the malware into the recovery environment. This is where ResOps enters the discussion. Darren describes it as an operating model rather than a product.
