Be prepared for emergencies with @-yet
Disaster recovery and emergency plan
Have you already established a disaster recovery system in your company? Then you are prepared for an emergency. Because disaster recovery is the essential element for a successful restart. Disaster recovery encompasses all organisational and technical measures that are used to restore IT infrastructure and data after an incident. The aim is to ensure a quick restart, for example after a cyber attack.
An important part of disaster recovery is a carefully prepared emergency plan. This contains all the relevant information required in the event of a crisis. This includes roles and responsibilities, procedures (emergency scenarios) for various incidents and precise action plans. Communication channels and information on required resources and possible suppliers of these resources must also be included in such an emergency plan.
Despite its paramount importance, many companies unfortunately underestimate this document. Many organisations do not have an emergency plan. There is also a prevailing view that inexperienced people can draw up such a document. We strongly advise against this. Ideally, an emergency plan should be developed by people who have practical experience in dealing with emergencies.
@-yet supports you in preparing for emergencies. Our security experts will work with you to develop a customised recovery concept. We support you in creating your emergency manual, which is based on the experience of hundreds of successfully managed emergencies. With @-yet, you can get back to work quickly.
No emergency plan? @-yet has your back!
Recovery by experienced experts
In an emergency, the emergency plan is the ideal basis for a quick and efficient restart. Without such a document, the restart process becomes much more difficult and error-prone. However, the experienced security experts at @-yet are there to support you, especially in such a case.
The priority of our teams: Critical systems and data. Your company's core processes must be up and running again as quickly as possible to keep you operational and minimise the damage to your company. To make this possible, the critical systems are restarted at short notice in an emergency operation. This takes into account the fact that the attacker may still be present in the network.
The following requirements must be met before emergency operation can be started:
- There is sufficient forensic information about the attack and its methods.
- Traces of the attacker have been removed as far as possible and the systems have been hardened
- The @-yet teams have ensured that the backups are not compromised
- System communication is limited to what is absolutely necessary.
- The systems in emergency mode are monitored for potential attacker activities.
The next step is to safely remove the attacker from the company network. To this end, @-yet sets up a new, secure infrastructure in parallel. This new environment is known as a ‘green zone’ and is secured and made cyber-resilient by the @-yet teams using state-of-the-art technology.
During the recovery, our security experts continuously monitor all systems for anomalies and ensure that no hidden threats are reactivated. Once all data and systems have been successfully restored, a comprehensive analysis should be carried out to identify further vulnerabilities and minimise the likelihood of another attack.
