If stopping attackers from accessing critical assets fails, where does the enterprise go from there? The quickest path to resuming business needs to be paved long before something goes wrong.

From ransomware to sabotage, maintaining the integrity of data assets is critical. After an incident, it’s a scramble to get applications and workloads running. It’s a race against lost revenue, angry customers and reputational damage.

Incident response encompasses rolling back systems to a clean point in time. Data should be backed up, but not all backup strategies are created equal.

Is it possible to “air gap” critical assets? How do you ensure that backups have not been touched by attackers? What is your disaster recovery plan if assets are spread amongst multiple private and public cloud providers? How can you be confident that data is safe if a cloud provider has a problem? Has your executive team accepted the premise that it’s not if the organization will be compromised but when?

Please join ISMG’s Jeremy Kirk for an exclusive Virtual Roundtable that will draw from the experiences of the attendees, offering thoughts on their experiences with incident preparation and response.

Discussion topics will include:

What are the steps to recovery after an incident?
How do you structure a backup plan?
How do you reduce the attack surface of backups?
If you can’t get to the best recovery model, how do you get to good or better?

Joining Jeremy to provide expert insight and case studies are Lucas Salter, General Manager, Data Protection Solutions, ANZ, and Peter Marelas, CTO, Data Protection Solutions, APJ, at Dell Technologies.
