Don't Assume Cyber Resilience Comes with Your Cloud Provider

Many organizations have moved critical workloads to the cloud believing that resilience, recovery, and business continuity are automatically included. The reality is more complex.

While cloud providers deliver highly resilient infrastructure, customers remain responsible for protecting their data, applications, configurations, identities, and recovery processes. Cloud availability does not necessarily guarantee rapid recovery from ransomware, accidental deletion, misconfiguration, or malicious insider activity.

This shared responsibility model is becoming increasingly important as organizations expand their cloud footprint and face growing cyber threats.

To improve resilience, organizations should:

• Understand their cloud provider's recovery responsibilities
• Implement independent backup and recovery strategies
• Protect cloud identities and access controls
• Regularly test cyber recovery procedures
• Ensure business-critical data can be recovered quickly

As cloud adoption continues to grow, resilience should not be assumed. It should be planned, tested, and validated.
