On this episode of Tech Talks Day by day, I sit down with Imran Nino Eškić and Boštjan Kirm from HyperBUNKER to unpack an issue many organisations solely uncover of their darkest hour. Backups are presupposed to be the protection web, but in actual ransomware incidents, they’re typically the very first thing attackers dismantle. Talking with two individuals who minimize their enamel in information restoration labs throughout 50,000 actual instances gave me a really completely different perspective on what resilience really seems like.
They clarify why so many so-called “air-gapped” or “immutable” backups nonetheless rely upon identities, APIs, and community pathways that may be abused. We speak by how fashionable attackers patiently map environments for weeks earlier than neutralising restoration techniques, and why that shift makes true bodily isolation extra related than ever. What struck me most was how calmly they described failure situations that will maintain most leaders awake at night time.
The guts of the dialog centres on HyperBUNKER’s offline vault and its spaceship-style double airlock design. Knowledge enters by a one-way {hardware} channel, the community door closes, and solely then is info moved into a very chilly vault with no deal with, no credentials, and no distant entry. I additionally replicate on seeing the black field in individual on the IT Press Tour in Athens and why it feels much less like a gadget and extra like a last-resort lifeline.
We end by discussing how companies ought to determine what actually belongs within the protected 10 p.c of information, and why that is as a lot a management resolution as an IT one. If every thing vanished tomorrow, what would your organization must breathe once more, and wouldn’t it really survive?
