Disaster recovery plans are a necessity to ensure your company is prepared for the unexpected. Cutover's #automated #disasterrecovery plans have helped major organizations improve their disaster recovery processes:

#Ransomware is a major threat to organizations that is only increasing. Research from Black Kite found an 81% year-over-year increase in ransomware attacks between April 2023 and March 2024. This is why having an effective #ransomwarerecovery plan is so important. Key component of a ransomware recovery plan include: 1. #Automated, executable runbooks that you can deploy immediately when needed 2. Defined IT disaster recovery roles and responsibilities, with named people and teams assigned to specific tasks 3. Internal and external communications plans with identified stakeholders and representatives 4. Defined recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) for each application and service based on criticality 5. Integrations with core IT tools and processes, such as ITSM platforms and communications and #automation tools 6. Real-time metrics and dashboards so you can track how the recovery is progressing and report to stakeholders 7. An automated audit trail for post-recovery regulatory reporting and improvement Find out more about building effective ransomware disaster recovery plans:

Why are IT #disasterrecovery plans important? There are plenty factors that could create the need for a rapid IT disaster recovery, which is why having effective IT DR plans in place is essential. Below, Cutover's Head of Enablement Ellen Wang outlines the main risks that could cause an IT disaster recovery to be triggered. Find out how to perfect your IT disaster recovery plans and be prepared for any of these scenarios here: https://lnkd.in/eBC3HBQE

An IT #disasterrecovery plan documents how to respond in the event of an IT disaster such as a hardware failure or #cyberattack. The IT DR plan outlines the recovery steps and which key metrics to measure such as recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives. An effective disaster recovery plan protects your organization from risks including data loss, reduced productivity, increased costs, reputational damage, and loss of customers. Cutover customers have reduced their IT DR planning time by 70%. Find out how you can, too at www.cutover.com

A multinational investment company used Cutover to implement one-click #failover of 38 applications. Here's how: ⚠️ The problem A major multinational investment company had a highly manual and inefficient failover process for both tests and real disaster recovery failovers. The steps to perform a failover were documented in a static log and users had to manually type in scripts to execute the jobs they needed to run through Ansible. This involved a lot of people and was difficult to coordinate and manage. Handoffs were managed over bridge lines and messaging tools and often became messy and disorganized. 🔨 The solution The team moved their failover process out of static documentation and into a Cutover #automated runbook template. The new process only requires one person to kick off the failover recovery or test with virtually one click, which automatically creates individual runbooks for each service being failed over. These runbooks integrate directly with Ansible, and complete tasks automatically without the need for human intervention or manual inputs. Cutover provides a custom dashboard so it is easy to see how many runbooks are running and the average duration of each runbook, with alerts for any that fall behind schedule. Plus, auto-generated audit logs made continuous improvement and regulatory reporting simple. ✅ The outcome As a result of this new automated process with Cutover, both manual effort and the number of people needed to execute failovers are reduced. Cutover is 53% more efficient than the previous process and the average recovery time for failing over each application is now 38 minutes, when previously it could take over four hours to recover a scope of applications. The team is now confident that they can continue to increase efficiency with Cutover and reduce that time even further, as well as scaling up to other use cases. “Cutover beat every expectation that we had” - participating App Team member
