Case Study
Hybrid Cyber Resilience strategy for a healthcare organization
ABSTRACT
Development of a Cyber Resilience strategy featuring dual air-gapped backup copies, on-premise and in the cloud, to ensure business continuity and safeguard data from cyber threats.

Challenge
In response to increasing exposure to cyber risks and the need to strengthen operational resilience, a leading healthcare organization engaged us to redesign its Continuous Data Protection (CDP) strategy. The goal was to enhance data security and ensure reliable recovery capabilities aligned with predefined SLAs.
Approach
We initiated a co-design process focused on strengthening data security posture, with a particular emphasis on enhancing the backup infrastructure and managing continuous recovery procedures for critical backup data. The solution was aligned with internal data protection policies and integrated with advanced cybersecurity services such as a Security Operations Center (SOC).
Following an in-depth assessment, we completely redesigned the backup infrastructure to enable a robust cyber resilience framework. The new architecture spans two regional data centers and includes an immutable replica in the cloud, while maintaining the existing Commvault platform. We comprehensively revised backup, security, and data access policies, implementing isolation from the Active Directory domain and introducing privileged access management (PAM).
The entire project was executed in close collaboration with the client, with the objective of preventing future attacks, minimizing the risk of data loss, and ensuring uninterrupted operations. The engagement concluded with targeted staff training on best practices for backup and data security management.
