Case Study: Revolutionizing Business Continuity for a Safety Technology Company
Future Logic Case Study: Revolutionizing Business Continuity for a Safety Technology Company
How a Technology Company Secured Their Operations with Future Logic’s Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Solutions
Introduction
A leading technology company specialising in safety and operator protection systems faced critical challenges with their outdated backup processes. Reliant on manual systems and portable media for data backup, they were vulnerable to data loss, ransomware attacks, and potential disasters. Future Logic stepped in to design and implement a robust Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plan that secured their operations and safeguarded their critical data.
The Technology Company: Innovating in Safety Systems
As a pioneer in developing safety and operator protection systems, the company depended heavily on its IT infrastructure for manufacturing and business operations. Their commitment to innovation and safety demanded a resilient and secure IT environment that could withstand unforeseen disruptions.
Challenges of Outdated Backup Systems and Data Vulnerability
External Problem: The company’s manual backup system involved staff rotating portable media offsite, a process that was inconsistent and prone to human error. This left their critical data vulnerable to ransomware attacks and building-wide disasters.
Internal Problem: The leadership team grappled with the insecurity of knowing their current backup system could fail at any moment, risking data loss and operational downtime. They needed a reliable solution to ensure business continuity.
Philosophical Problem: For the company, safeguarding its data was paramount, not just for operational efficiency but also as part of its commitment to ensuring the safety and reliability of its protection systems.
Future Logic Steps In
Future Logic evaluated the company’s existing systems and understood their business requirements. We developed a comprehensive BCDR plan tailored to their needs and risk profile.
A Robust Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Solution
Assessment: Future Logic assessed the current systems, identified risks, and established Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Retention Point Objectives (RTO) aligned with the company’s business goals and risk appetite.
Strategy: We designed a solution incorporating multiple redundancy and protection layers. This included a local isolated appliance for file recovery, virtual workload operation and geo-redundant offsite data storage.
Implementation: Our team implemented the automated solution, providing continuous protection and enabling rapid recovery. Periodic disaster recovery testing ensured the system’s reliability and effectiveness.
The Path to Resilient Operations
Seamless Recovery: The new system was tested when a zero-day vendor vulnerability was detected in the network. Future Logic’s security services swiftly blocked the attackers and patched the vulnerable systems.
Rapid Restoration: We activated the BCDR plan, utilising the appliance to run all critical server instances within 15 minutes, minimising performance impact on users. Non-critical systems were fully restored within an hour.
Ongoing Security: With periodic disaster recovery testing and regular reviews of the business continuity plan, the company now operates confidently in their data security and system resilience.
