Why Your Disaster Recovery Strategy Is At Risk (And How to Fix It)

From Industrial Cybersecurity Insider · 30:25

Show by Industrial Cybersecurity Insider

A successful backup is reassuring, but can your team actually restore a critical system when production is on the line? Dino sits down with Hannah Bergin and Jack Mansfield of Macrium Software to explore what recovery looks like in manufacturing environments, from fragile legacy Windows machines to isolated networks and plant systems with different owners. They discuss why backup and recovery should be considered during system design, how IT and OT teams can share responsibility without losing sight of safety and production, and why documentation, training and recovery drills matter as much as the technology itself. Whether the disruption comes from a cyber incident or a failed drive, the conversation offers practical questions to help plant leaders and security teams prepare before something goes wrong.
