Disaster Recovery Isn’t Enough: Why Higher Ed Needs a Cyber Recovery Plan

Most higher education institutions have traditional disaster recovery plans in place, but those plans were built for outages, not targeted cyberattacks. Recovering clean, uncompromised data after a breach requires a very different playbook.

 

Join the Center for Digital Education and Commvault for an expert-led webinar on what true cyber recovery looks like and why it’s time to draw a hard line between disaster recovery and cyber recovery. You’ll walk away with practical insight into how colleges and universities can strengthen their cyber defenses and ensure continuity when it matters most.

 

We’ll cover:

  • Why traditional disaster recovery falls short in cyberattacks and what risks are often overlooked
  • How cyber recovery prioritizes clean, trusted data over just getting systems online
  • What higher ed leaders are doing to protect research, records, and operations from ransomware
