Copy Data – It's Not Just For Recovery
In today's cyberthreat landscape, a response plan is a must, and to be effective, it needs to include both proactive and reactive elements. Data used to recover servers and applications has become a prime target for hackers, who seek out backup services and repositories to both destroy the data and sabotage the recovery effort. Storage-based data protection is an ideal approach to defending against cyber-attacks because it provides true immutability with minimal visibility on the attack surface. Hitachi Vantara and VM2020 have partnered to integrate unique capabilities of Hitachi Ops Center Protector with VM2020 CyberVR to provide customers with isolated "thin digital twin" environments. Within this environment, capabilities include creating an isolated server or application group to proactively test protection copies for recoverability, as well as running IO-intensive ransomware/malware scans with no impact to production applications. Thin digital twins can also be used for patch and change management, full-force penetration testing, security control validation, remediation testing, and ransomware recovery. The "thin" element comes from safely leveraging existing storage snapshots for near-instant provisioning, all with a minimal storage footprint.
Transforming Backup Data into Action
CyberVRTM is a software platform that makes full-scale isolated, extremely realistic, and continuous cybersecurity and DevOps testing possible without affecting production systems, a first in technology risk mitigation.
CyberVRTM creates fully functional copies of production systems in mere minutes without the need for additional infrastructure. These thin digital twins are automatically instrumented and made easily accessible for interactive manipulation by multi-disciplinary teams to optimize workflows, validate change management procedures, test recoverability of servers and applications, and collect evidence of cybersecurity capabilities or weaknesses.
Enhanced Data Resilience, Recoverability and Reusability
Hitachi Ops Center Protector is an enterprise proven copy data management software platform. By automating and orchestrating a range of data copy and movement technologies and greatly simplifying secondary operations, Protector enables creation of a wide variety of cyber-resilient copy architectures for all your workloads. Ops Center Protector enables companies to create protection schemes to meet the needs of their always available databases and services with no interruption to end users. Create schedules and copy destinations to cover the most complex data flows with ease and simplicity.
Rapid and Accurate Prevention and Recovery
Hitachi Ops Center Protector and VM2020 CyberVR provide unique integration of data protection orchestration and automation that delivers evidence-based cyber resilience. Our joint solution can help IT organizations with:
- Conducting frequent recovery drills to generate muscle memory, achieve consistent recovery times for applications and services, and refine processes
- Applying cyber hardening recommendations quickly without risking downtime or service interruptions
- Proving cyber controls are properly configured without impacting performance
- Ensuring that only clean environments are recovered to production networks
- Hardening an already compromised environment without alerting the intruder
