Resiliency on AWS
Automate and orchestrate your disaster recovery on AWS
In today's digital landscape, the importance of establishing robust and resilient cloud infrastructure cannot be overstated. 89% of business leaders shared that resilience is now one of their most important strategic priorities according to PwC’s 2023 Global Crisis and Resilience Survey. Building a reliable and disaster-ready cloud infrastructure has become an essential strategy for organizations to help establish their business continuity and reduce downtime.
Why design for Resiliency on AWS?
Regulatory compliance
Specific regulations for industries such as financial services, healthcare, pharma life sciences and others require organizations to conduct independent audits of their cybersecurity program and operational resilience.
Protect data and assets
Per the IDC’s 2022 Disaster Preparedness Survey, 93% of organizations suffered a data-related disruption, of which 68% of respondents reported four or more attacks, between May 2021 and May 2022.
Ransomware attacks
In the first half of 2021, more than $590 million was paid in ransomware in the US alone, which does not guarantee that the data will be decrypted or that the attackers won't strike again.
Customer trust and reputation
Disaster recovery isn’t just about restoring functionality to your system. If something happens, from a natural disaster or hardware failure to a security breach, you need a clear disaster recovery plan; it’s also about restoring customer faith.
Maintain business continuity and minimize downtime
A well-designed disaster recovery plan allows businesses to continue operating even during a crisis.
Competitive advantage
In today's highly competitive business landscape, having a robust disaster recovery plan can help give companies a competitive edge.
Cloud resiliency journey framework
Achieving a sustainable AWS resilient organization is an ongoing and long-term journey. Through the cloud resiliency journey framework, we help our clients define and implement the strategic and tactical plans needed to achieve their target state, taking into account the evolving risk landscape applicable to their organization.
PwC has developed the disaster recovery orchestrator framework on AWS to enable resiliency across an organization’s foundational AWS environment and application services, reducing the dependency on various supporting teams required to conduct regular disaster recovery testing.
The disaster recovery framework is a customizable solution that automates the failover of critical services to a healthy AWS region in the event of an incident and the failback of AWS services to their original state.
Fusion center integration with disaster recovery framework
The disaster recovery framework in collaboration with our fusion center will provide capabilities to recover your workloads in scenarios where organizations are dealing with cyber incidents, outages, and misconfigurations.
Fusion center is a cutting edge customizable and scalable architecture composed of multiple layers that work together to connect, secure, and safeguard an organization's environments, fueling resiliency. This architecture can provide an organization with the ability to leverage the capabilities of Amazon Security Lake to monitor, respond, and recover from cyber, compliance, and fraud events in a more effective and efficient manner harnessing the power of AI/ML.
PwC’s Global Crisis and Resilience Survey 2023
As businesses face a rapidly changing world, the challenges of geopolitical upheaval, soaring inflation and economic uncertainties have become ever more prevalent. Moreover, the disruptions from cybercrime, supply chain challenges and climate crises have emerged as daunting and unpredictable challenges.
In such an environment, business leaders need to anticipate and respond to disruption proactively — not only to survive, but to thrive.
The key to success is resilience: the ability to navigate through crises, and the capacity to adapt and succeed in the face of constant disruption.
