Emerging Trends in Cyber-Security & Recovery Presented at Data Connecter, Cambridge, MA March 27, 2014 Presented by… Jim Gursha, Principal, Risk Masters Inc. Allan Cytryn, Principal, Risk Masters Inc.
Emerging Trends in Cyber-Security • The Problem: • Cyber Attacks are more sophisticated and more frequent • They are now “the Advanced Persistent Threat” • They are sponsored by states and organizations, as well as hackers and hactivists. • BYOD and the consumerization of technology conflict with historical approaches to defense • Existing defenses are being breached daily • Restoring trust in infrastructure is becoming increasingly difficult • The Emerging Solutions: • New strategies and technologies for defense are providing better options • But the new strategies and technologies are recent and have not been widely adopted • Reluctance to change is jeopardizing security
Emerging Trends in Recovery – Cloud DR • Multiple benefits of Cloud DR, in addition to mitigating disaster recovery risk: • When combined with New Security Model, enables “Cyber-Recovery” as well as Disaster-Recovery • Achieves cost savings and improved reliability and service levels via tape-elimination, timeliness and recovery enterprise-wide services • Key Concepts • Adopt backup/recovery into the Cloud • Replace tapes with electronic transfer • Improves timeliness, reliability and application coverage • Lowers lost • Augment recovery strategy with recovery into the cloud • Expand recovery testing into the Cloud for critical applications in order to validate technical recovery capabilities. • Revise testing procedures to periodically validate Cloud DR • Lower in cost and effort than traditional “hot/redundant site” testing
Cloud DR - Tape Elimination Tape Elimination is based on Long-Term Storage Service, a fully managed IaaS Cloud storage service. Tape Elimination has a low total cost of ownership at 1.5¢ to 3¢ per month per gigabyte. • Provides instant access to electronic data assets from months to several decades. • Exabyte-scale elasticity and flexible “pay-as-you-use” pricing model. • Comprehensive SLA for service availability and data durability, portability and survivorship. • Built on OpenStack and accessible via OpenStack Swift and S3 APIs to prevent vendor and data lock-in. • Data integrity checking.
