Zero Trust and Enterprise Data Backup - Extending Zero Trust to Data Resilience
Traditional Zero Trust models often overlook backup and recovery systems, despite 93% of cyberattacks targeting backup data. Zero Trust Data Resilience (ZTDR) extends Zero Trust principles to data backup by enforcing segmentation of backup software and storage, using multiple resilience zones, and ensuring immutable backup storage. This reduces attack surfaces, minimizes blast radius, and protects against internal and external threats. Unlike monolithic or direct-attached storage, ZTDR architecture ensures secure, scalable, and compliant data protection—enabling fast, safe recovery and stronger cyber resilience.
