Data Resilience
What is data resilience?
Data that is always available, regardless of breach or disruption, is resilient. Data resilience is a key technical pillar that supports an organization’s overall cyber resilience strategy, ensuring a quick and secure recovery when an attack or disaster occurs. It lets your organization maintain access to and recover data intact during cyberattacks, hardware failures, or natural disasters, helping to sustain operations and minimize risk.
Key aspects of data resilience
Data resilience requires these key elements:
Availability — Ensuring data is accessible whenever needed, even during outages.
Recovery — Quickly restoring data after loss or corruption.
Integrity — Maintaining data accuracy, consistency, and trustworthiness.
Wasabi's immutable cloud storage protects your data from deletion or encryption, ensuring fast recovery after a ransomware attack. With no charges for egress or API requests and safeguards such as our unique Multi-User Authentication, which requires more than one person to delete an account, Wasabi makes true data resilience secure and straightforward.
Benefits of data resilience
Together, these elements ensure that organizations can maintain business continuity, protect valuable information, and strengthen customer confidence in the face of unexpected disruptions:
Data protection — Safeguards against data loss, theft, and corruption.
Reduced downtime — Enables faster recovery and continuity of operations.
Enhanced reputation — Builds customer trust through consistent, reliable service.
Strategies for achieving data resilience
Take proactive steps to keep your data resilient by implementing several key safeguards, including:
Implement immutable cloud storage to prevent data tampering
Use multi-site data replication and backups
Monitor data for anomalies and threats with advanced analytics
Apply zero-trust security models
Conduct regular data recovery testing
Automate backup and recovery workflows
Finally, leverage cost-effective, scalable solutions like Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage, which, with its no-fee policy for egress and API requests, you can reduce your total cost of ownership by up to 80% compared to hyperscalers.
