Cloud Cyber Resilience Strategies for Data Protection

This guide discusses the critical need for organizations to adopt effective cyber resilience strategies to protect their data in multicloud and hybrid environments. It outlines the evolving threat landscape where cybercriminals increasingly target cloud infrastructures, emphasizing that traditional prevention-focused cybersecurity measures are insufficient. The guide explains the concept of cyber resilience, defined as the ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyberattacks while maintaining operational effectiveness. It highlights the challenges posed by cloud sprawl, which expands the attack surface and complicates data protection. The document also references the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), a regulation aimed at enhancing cyber resilience among financial services institutions. The guide concludes by stressing the importance of a holistic approach to cybersecurity that prioritizes data security and recovery capabilities, enabling organizations to continue operations even during cyber incidents.
