Recover data and systems from backups with confidence by validating integrity, preventing reinfection, and meeting recovery objectives for critical services.

Restoring from backup is not just a technical activity: it is a business risk decision about what can be trusted, what must be revalidated, and how quickly operations can resume.

Outcomes

  • Reduced downtime and data loss aligned to business recovery objectives
  • Lower risk of reintroducing compromised data or systems
  • More reliable recovery through repeatable restore practices
  • Clear evidence of recovery actions for regulators and auditors

Typical scope

  • Restore procedures for critical applications and datasets
  • Integrity checks and validation criteria (what “good” looks like)
  • Segregated recovery environments and clean-room approaches when needed
  • Regular restore testing and improvement loops

GenAI-enabled execution

Agents can help draft restore plans, compile integrity evidence, and produce executive-ready recovery summaries—guardrailed by human approval for restore actions and strict controls to prevent unsafe automation during incidents.
