Episode Details

How confident are you that your business could recover from a cyberattack, cloud outage, or infrastructure failure in minutes rather than hours or even days?

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore the changing nature of enterprise resilience with Joseph D'Angelo and Cassie Stanek from InfoScale, now part of Cloud Software Group.

Our conversation looks at why many organizations still rely on backup and replication strategies that were designed for a very different era of IT. In a world of hybrid infrastructure, multi-cloud deployments, and increasingly complex application stacks, those traditional tools often protect the data but often fail to restore the business services that depend on it.

My guests shares how InfoScale approaches resilience from the application layer outward. Instead of focusing on individual components such as storage or infrastructure, the platform looks at the relationships between applications, services, and data so entire systems can be orchestrated and recovered as a coordinated unit. That distinction becomes especially important during a ransomware attack or cloud outage, where restoring a single database rarely brings a digital business back online.

We also discuss how growing regulatory pressure is changing the conversation. Enterprises are no longer expected to simply claim they have disaster recovery processes in place. Increasingly they must demonstrate, test, and prove that recovery capabilities actually work. Cassie explains how controlled "fire drill" rehearsals allow organizations to validate recovery plans without disrupting production systems, creating defensible proof that systems can be restored when it matters most.
