Cyber Resilience
Preparation is the key to keeping critical business functions up and running in the event of a cyber attack. AHEAD helps you build comprehensive cyber resiliency plans and best-in-class cyber vault solutions to keep your systems viable when the worst comes to pass.
Cyber Vault Design for Healthcare
A large healthcare company partnered with AHEAD after recognizing that traditional backups and DR were not enough to recover safely from a ransomware attack, especially with regulators and cyber insurers increasingly expecting an isolated recovery capability. AHEAD began with a ransomware posture assessment and business impact analysis to identify Tier 0/Tier 1 services and dependencies, then designed and built a dedicated cyber vault and isolated recovery environment (IRE) with cleanroom sidecars and a standby production environment for critical clinical and platform services. As a result, the organization now has a hardened, tested path to bring core systems back online in a clean environment, even if attackers still have a foothold in production.
What are the Barriers to Cyber Recovery and Resilience?
Many organizations still rely on standard backups and DR processes that assume data is trustworthy, with limited isolation from production. Modern attacks deliberately target backup infrastructure and identity systems, so without immutable vaults and isolated recovery environments there’s no safe, clean point to restore from.
What Cyber Recovery Services Does AHEAD Offer?
Business Impact Analysis
AHEAD identifies your Tier 0 and Tier 1 services, maps critical business processes to the underlying applications and infrastructure, and defines realistic recovery priorities as the foundation for a cyber recovery program and cyber vault design.
We perform ransomware posture and current‑state assessments and produce a recovery matrix and roadmap that aligns cyber vault, cleanroom, and standby production environment design to what your business actually needs first in a crisis.
You’ll gain clear visibility into which services matter most, a right‑sized and defensible cyber recovery strategy, improved cyber insurance and compliance posture, and faster, safer recovery of critical functions when an attack occurs.
Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity Planning (BCP)
AHEAD defines how your critical business processes and supporting infrastructure recover from disruptive events, combining business impact analysis, ransomware posture assessment, and continuity planning into a coherent, tested DR strategy.
We work with business, application, and infrastructure owners to identify and tier critical processes, map technical dependencies, document and test incident response and recovery runbooks, and align plans with regulatory requirements.
AHEAD creates your realistic, executable DR and business continuity program. Reduce downtime and data loss, improve readiness for cyber incidents, strengthen compliance and cyber insurance posture, and give executives greater confidence in your organization’s ability to keep critical services running.
IRE Cleanroom and Cyber Vault Design
AHEAD’s cyber vault is a best-in-class cyber resiliency solution that provides strong access controls and immutable copies of your data to mitigate attack risks and increase recovery capabilities.
AHEAD cyber vaults employ IRE cleanrooms to bring core applications online in a known good environment with isolated hardware where you can validate the integrity of your data and ultimately reduce your overall recovery time
What data do you protect, and how do you protect it? Our custom designs account for patching, management, monitoring, and access controls that are driven by your in-depth business impact analysis.
Cyber Recovery
Cyber recovery is more than immutable backups. It's having the right people and processes in place to recover critical business functions as fast as possible.
