Overview
In addition to AWS zone/region outages and localized data corruption events, customers must have plans for recovering from ransomware attacks. The AWS Backup for Ransomware PoC packaged service solution is geared towards mitigating the impact of a ransomware event. At its core, it uses AWS Backup’s Logically air-gapped (LAG) vault capability for securing backed up data in a separate dedicated account from the Workload accounts.
Leveraging AWS Backup service, this solution enables data backup for the following services: Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, Amazon FSx (NetApp ONTAP, EFS, OpenZFS, Windows File Server, Lustre), Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Timestream, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Aurora, Amazon Neptune, Amazon RDS, Amazon DocumentDB, VMware Cloud on AWS, AWS Storage Gateway, and AWS Outposts.
This solution includes deployment of a Delegated Backup account, Data Bunker account, and KMS account for specific purposes. The Data Bunker account hosts a 3rd party malware/ransomware SaaS solution such as Elastio, or similar provider, to scan restore points produced by AWS Backup service in Workload accounts. Monitoring, auditing, and reporting for compliance is provided via AWS Backup Audit Manager in the Backup account. This solution requires a landing zone to already be in place. If a landing zone is not in place, Insight may deploy one of its landing zone packaged offerings for an additional fee. Workload accounts must already exist. One Recovery account may be deployed in this solution for restore testing purposes.
Highlights
- The target architecture and the usage of Elastio to ensure that customers can confidently and easily recover if attacked by a ransomware/malware event makes this solution unique.
- This solution sets up the customer environment for ransomware recovery.
- This solution will be most appealing to critical customer workloads.
