Introducing Triangle's cyber recovery video series
In this first video of Triangle’s Cyber Recovery Series, Padhraic Maguire, Director of Technology, discusses why cyber recovery is an essential strategy for modern businesses. Drawing on years of expertise in enterprise IT infrastructure, Padhraic outlines the escalating threats posed by cyber crime and why traditional security and disaster recovery (DR) solutions are no longer enough to protect critical business operations.
The new reality of cyber threats
Cyber crime is on the rise, and attacks are becoming more frequent, sophisticated, and damaging. As Padhraic explains in the video, it’s no longer a matter of if your organisation will be targeted—it’s a matter of when. Beyond operational disruptions, the financial and reputational consequences of a cyber attack can be catastrophic. Yet, many organisations still rely on traditional disaster recovery systems that fail to address the unique challenges of cyber breaches.
What sets cyber recovery apart?
Cyber recovery (CR) and disaster recovery (DR) may share the goal of restoring services after an event, but the method differs. Padhraic emphasises that while traditional disaster recovery and backup solutions focus on restoring operations after natural disasters or hardware failures, they are inherently vulnerable to the types of attacks businesses face today.
DR environments often mirror production in real time, creating a risk that malware or data corruption will propagate from the primary site to the backup. The same challenge applies to standard backup systems, which are typically tightly coupled to production for speed and convenience. Layers of security—like multi-factor authentication or immutable storage—offer added protection, but they still may not fully shield systems if attackers breach the production environment.
Rising threats and regulatory momentum
Maguire underscores that a cyber breach is now more likely than a traditional disaster. Despite this, many organisations continue to allocate budget primarily to DR without incorporating specialised cyber recovery measures. Regulatory developments like the EU’s NIS2 and DORA highlight the growing recognition of this risk, especially in regulated sectors. Even so, Maguire argues that every industry should plan for worst-case cyber scenarios to avoid devastating operational and reputational impacts.
Swift recovery for business continuity
This video serves as a compelling reminder that prevention alone is not enough. Investing in cyber recovery is no longer optional. Modern cyber threats demand an adaptive, proactive approach to data protection. Triangle’s Cyber Recovery Solutions are designed to meet this need, enabling organisations to safeguard their data, meet compliance requirements, and recover efficiently from even the most sophisticated attacks.
