CYBER RECOVERY SOLUTIONS: DESIGN AND ADMINISTRATION

CYBER RECOVERY SOLUTIONS: DESIGN AND ADMINISTRATION Course Details

About the Course

In an era of increasing ransomware and sophisticated digital threats, traditional backups are no longer sufficient. This course provides a comprehensive deep dive into the architecture, deployment, and management of an isolated “cyber vault” environment. Participants will learn how to design and operate a high-security data sanctuary that remains physically and logically separated from the production network to ensure business continuity during a catastrophic cyberattack.

Students will explore the critical intersection of cybersecurity and data protection, focusing on the implementation of immutable storage, air-gapped replication, and automated integrity analysis. The curriculum covers the administration of recovery operations across various enterprise data management platforms, as well as the advanced design principles required to harden the solution against infiltration. Through practical scenarios, learners will master the sizing, planning, and troubleshooting techniques necessary to maintain a resilient recovery vault.

Audience Profile

This course is intended for:

• Security Administrators tasked with protecting critical data from ransomware and cyber threats.

• Backup and Recovery Engineers responsible for managing isolated recovery vaults.

• IT Architects designing high-availability and high-security data protection infrastructures.

• System Integrators focused on deploying hardened enterprise security solutions.

Learning Objectives

System Foundations and Administration

• Define the core architecture, essential components, and operational workflows of a cyber recovery vault.

• Navigate and utilize management platforms to perform daily administrative and maintenance tasks.

• Manage storage resources, application integrations, and automated protection policies.

Recovery Operations and Integration

• Execute scheduled and manual backup operations within a secured environment.

• Perform granular and system-level restorations using multiple enterprise data management engines.

• Configure and manage secure replication pathways, including air-gap synchronization and “Sheltered Harbor” standards.

Strategic Design and Sizing

• Identify environmental limitations across software, network, and physical storage layers.

• Develop comprehensive sizing and capacity plans tailored to organizational recovery time objectives (RTOs).

• Apply hardening techniques to secure the management server and vault infrastructure against unauthorized access.

Diagnostics and Performance Monitoring

• Utilize advanced monitoring tools to validate data flow and system integrity.

• Interpret system alerts and health statuses to maintain continuous operational readiness.

• Identify and resolve common issues related to authentication, service connectivity, and analytics engines using log analysis.

Certification Exam

While this course provides the necessary technical foundation for specialists in the field, students should verify specific exam availability with their accreditation body. This program is specifically designed to align with the requirements for professional-level certifications in advanced data protection and cyber resiliency.

Prerequisites

• Foundational knowledge of enterprise protection storage systems.

• Working experience with modern data management software (policy-based protection and discovery engines).

• Basic understanding of networking security and data center infrastructure.
