Use Case · Cyber Recovery Vault
Add an offline recovery layer beyond network reach to support ransomware recovery planning.
Network-only controls can still leave recovery paths exposed. Teams need a physically separated copy tier with controlled restore workflows.
Tape supports offline handling and policy-driven copy separation, helping organizations design recovery workflows that are isolated from active network attacks.
Architecture steps
- Replicate production backups into a protected archive policy tier.
- Create vaulted offline copies with controlled transport and custody controls.
- Run scheduled restore tests to validate recovery runbooks and timing.
Governance controls
- Use WORM-capable policies for records that require immutability controls.
- Pair encryption-ready operations with strict key-management practices.
- Document vaulting and restore procedures as part of incident response runbooks.
