In the final video of Triangle’s cyber recovery series, Padhraic Maguire, Director of Technology, explores the operational steps organisations need to take to maintain an effective cyber recovery position. While having a recovery plan in place is critical, Padhraic highlights that its ongoing success depends on proactive management, regular testing, and continuous improvement.
Maintaining cyber resilience
“Cyber recovery isn’t a one-time implementation; it’s a dynamic process,” says Padhraic. The systems, protocols, and infrastructure you put in place need consistent oversight to ensure they’re always ready to perform when a breach occurs. This means embedding recovery processes into your organisation’s day-to-day operations, so they become part of your business culture, not just an emergency fallback.
Key operational practices
In the video, Padhraic outlines the essential operational practices that keep a cyber recovery solution effective:
- Separation of duties: Ensuring the individuals managing production systems are different from those managing the isolated recovery environment. This prevents potential compromises in one area from impacting another.
- Regular penetration testing: Conducting tests to verify that the cyber vault remains isolated and invisible to your network. Any visibility means your vault could be exposed during an attack.
- Recovery testing: Performing recovery exercises regularly, not only to meet compliance requirements but to ensure your team knows their roles and the systems are functioning as intended.
- Adapting to change: Updating recovery protocols and systems to account for changes in production environments, including new applications and platforms.
Building confidence through practice
Padhraic emphasizes the importance of regular testing cycles, noting that these exercises do more than validate systems—they instill confidence across the organisation. When teams know how to respond and systems are proven to work, the organisation can approach cyber threats with clarity and control, even under pressure.
