Zaffre has the Rubrik Enterprise Edition suite, and now you will leverage the Cyber Recovery to kick off a recovery in an isolated recovery environment (IRE) to run forensic analysis. You can also use this to validate your clean snapshots before recovering into your production environment to ensure you don't reinfect your production environment.
To do this, first click the Objects tab if you are not already there.
Click Start Cyber Recovery.
Click Start to kickstart the Cyber Recovery wizard.
Next, from the dropdown menu for Ransomware Monitoring Outcome, select Anomalous.
You will now see that Rubrik has automatically selected the anomalous snapshots for both VMs.
The automatic identification of anomalous or non-anomalous snapshots saves you a lot of time and effort and allows you to run forensic analysis and recovery quickly to get up and running quickly!
To assign compute resources, select the default vCenter from the dropdown menu.
Select the default Datacenter from the dropdown menu
Select esx2.rubrik.lab as the compute cluster.
Click Next.
To select the Isolated network for all the VMs, select Fast Fill.
From the dropdown menu, select IsoLAN and select Apply.
You will observe that the Isolated Network is automatically selected for the VMs.
Click Next.
Assign 2nd Priority Group to haverford-webapp-01.
Click Next.
Click Next.
Post-recovery customs scripts are used for testing ransomware or disaster recovery scenarios in any environment. This helps identify potential recovery weaknesses before the real threat re-occurs in your production environment.
Toggle the button (A) to save the recovery plan to use in the future
Type Demo-CR (B) as the Recovery Plan Name.
Click Confirm (C).
Saving Recovery Plans enables you to kick start cyber recovery in the future without needing to identify and define resources again.
Click Monitor Recovery to see the progress.
Click Demo-CR_* to start monitoring the isolated recovery progress
Ensure the recovery is completed without errors.
Congratulations, you have now set up an IRE environment for your team to conduct forensic analysis using anomalous snapshots. You can also validate recovery snapshots by using non-anomalous and non-quarantined snapshots before you recover your production environment!
Using Cyber Recovery and a few clicks, you get an IRE environment up and running within the hour vs. days or weeks!
