The Gartner® Mandatory Playbook for Cyber Resilience
“Treat core identity infrastructure as a foundational recovery dependency because restoration of downstream systems often depends on the availability of trusted identity services”
-
Identity is a Tier-0 service and, thus, dependency. Applications, devices, and services can't fully recover until Identity Providers (IdPs) are restored.
-
Recovery scope goes beyond user accounts to policies, roles, and configurations.
-
"Current native recovery tools are insufficient against ransomware and large-scale errors, necessitating dedicated solutions."
-
Common backup methods (bare-metal, system-state) can reintroduce the very attacker persistence necessitating recovery.
