Over the past decade, hardware reliability has significantly improved. Thanks to advances in manufacturing, predictive diagnostics, and built-in redundancies, today’s systems are more stable and durable than ever. Hardware failure, once a major concern in IT planning, has become far less frequent. At the same time, cyber threats have escalated in both scale and sophistication. From ransomware-as-a-service to supply chain breaches and nation-state cyber operations, the focus has shifted from physical resilience to digital defense. In the past, many customers implemented a dual-room design with either active-active or active-passive architectures to ensure high availability and minimal downtime. This approach prioritized performance and failover speed. However, in today’s landscape, with a growing need for cyber resilience, this design shows critical drawbacks. A cyberattack could compromise data in both rooms simultaneously or near-simultaneously, especially when using hardware-level replication. According to a 2024 report, the leading root causes of security breaches are: - 32 % by exploited vulnerabilities - 29 % by compromised credentials - 24 % by malicious emails Every week, our security team encounters on-premises environments that have been compromised — and in almost all cases, both the infrastructure and the backups are affected. In such events, recovery often means rebuilding from scratch — if it’s even possible. ## Time for a new approach: ### **Backups must be logically inaccessible and invisible from production** This means using offsite, air-gapped, immutable backups controlled by a third party. Customers may ask: *Are immutable backups included in Cloud2be?* Yes, in Cloud2be we are responsible for your backups and they are immutably protected in an air-gapped, offsite environment. For on-premises customers, we can offer the same level of protection. According to the same 2024 report, recovery from ransomware is also taking longer: - 35% of ransomware victims are fully recovered in a week or less (down from 47% in 2023 and 52% in 2022) - 34% now takes **more than a month** to recover (up from 24% in 2023 and 20% in 2022) ### The Role of the Disaster Recovery Room (Clean Room) Cloud2be is designed to include a **disaster recovery room**, or clean room: a physically and logically isolated platform built for fast recovery. Customers may ask: *Is the clean room included by default in the Cloud2be offering?* No, the clean room is not included by default, as it requires additional infrastructure and resources. An additional Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) contract is needed. ## Final Thought Even with all these protections, a clear **Disaster Recovery Plan** remains essential. Without it, any disaster is likely to result in chaos. It’s essential for each customer to ask himself: *How prepared am I? What’s my recovery strategy?* We can assist you in creating such a strategy.
