medium · Frm Part 2 Operational Risk

A firm is choosing between a 'hot-failover' data center strategy and 'immutable, offline backups' to mitigate cyber risk.

Why is hot-failover often insufficient against a ransomware attack that corrupts data?

  1. Regulators explicitly forbid hot-failover for critical payments infrastructure.
  2. Hot-failover only protects against hardware failures, not software glitches.
  3. Hot-failover synchronously replicates the corruption to the secondary site.
  4. Hot-failover is significantly slower to restore than offline backups.
