Cyber Recovery Automation Case Study for Transportation Industry

This case study details the cyber recovery automation process implemented by Penske Transportation Solutions, a company specializing in transportation and supply chain solutions. The document outlines the challenges faced by Penske, including the need to recover its IT environment following a cyber incident. Previously, the recovery process was manual and took approximately one week. The solution involved deploying Continuity Patrol™ to orchestrate the recovery, allowing for the recovery of 800 virtual machines across three vCenters into a Clean Room in under two hours. The automation facilitated the establishment and closure of a secure air gap between the backup storage and the recovery environment, significantly reducing the risk of re-infection. The case study highlights the successful reduction of cyber recovery test time from one week to less than two hours, demonstrating increased confidence in the company's ability to recover from cyber incidents. Penske is now considering further automation to enhance its recovery capabilities.
