Resilience by design: Building an effective ransomware recovery strategy

This AWS blog post provides a comprehensive guide to building an effective ransomware recovery strategy, focusing on creating a Cloud Hosted Data Vault (CHDV) as a last line of defense for critical business assets.

• Key considerations include identifying Minimum Viable Business (MVB) functions
• Develop clear recovery objectives like Decision Time Objective (DTO) and Cyber-Recovery Time Objective (C-RTO)
• Create isolated, manageable vaults with clear partitioning and access controls
• Implement multi-factor authentication and zero trust security principles
• Ensure cross-functional collaboration and executive sponsorship

The strategy emphasizes that ransomware protection is not just a technology solution, but a comprehensive business approach requiring enterprise-wide engagement and continuous planning and testing.
