Cyber Resilience in a Hybrid Cloud World

Why Isolated Recovery Environments and Strategic Planning Are the New Non‑Negotiables

Cyberattacks are constant, and hybrid environments only widen the attack surface. In the UK, most large and mid-sized firms suffered breaches last year.

Today’s attackers are organized, well-funded, and patient — targeting backups, identity, and communications to cause disruption, data loss, downtime, and financial or reputational damage.

Traditional backups and disaster recovery plans often fail under modern threats, leaving recovery slow, costly, or impossible. True cyber resilience requires strategy, not just technology, built on four pillars: business impact analysis, enhanced continuity planning, isolated recovery environments, and infrastructure as code.

The goal isn’t just recovery, but restoring trusted operations — and preparation must start before crisis strikes

This white paper offers a strategic view of cyber and operational resilience built around four essential pillars:

  • Business impact analysis (BIA)
  • Enhanced business continuity planning
  • Isolated recovery environments (IREs)
  • Infrastructure as code (IaC)
