Securing IT–OT Convergence

IT-OT convergence: The recovery plane decides outcomes

IT–OT convergence has made outages business-critical. Outages in Operational Technology (OT) environments can impact production and safety. Today, CISOs and boards are accountable not only for cybersecurity prevention but for proven recovery.
Our stance: design for verified recovery as a control – not an aspiration. With Air-Gapped backups, Separation of Duties, and Cleanroom validation, we ensure operations restart safely, without re-infection, so executives brief stakeholders with facts, not estimates.

Off-Network and Air-Gapped Backups for Compliance

EU rules are clear: keep backup copies off the production network and at sufficient distance and prove that you can restore. This turns “where your backups live” into an auditable requirement, not a preference.
We implement off-network copies and document separation, so regulators, auditors, and insurers see compliance in black and white.

Securing IT-OT with Air-Gapped and Cleanroom Recovery for Cyber Resilience

“Immutable” reduces tampering; it doesn’t remove reachability. We combine:

• Air-Gapped backup copies for maximum isolation
• Separation-of-Duties across all admin paths and restores
• Cleanroom (IRE) – Every recovery is scanned and evidenced before re-entry to production.

Reducing insider risk, blocking attacker reach, and preventing re-infection. This is how recovery becomes a board-grade control, not a best practice.

Segmentation contains the blast radius – recovery closes the loop

Framework like IEC 62443 zones/conduits and NIST OT guidance remain foundational for contractor access, legacy assets, and remote connections. Yet flat spots and “forgotten links” persist. We assume that exploitation not only can occur but that it will be attempted; consequently, we design for:

• Segmented production and backup environments
• Unreachable backup copies (air-gapped)
• Verified recovery and re-introduction of systems

Architecture and recovery work together to keep cyber incidents from becoming crises.

IT-OT – Evidence on demand for executives and auditors

ENISA’s technical guidance emphasizes actionable parameters and examples of evidence for NIS2’s implementing regulation. Our B4R Storage Portal exports exactly that:

• Backup location and Separation of Duties
• Access controls
• Restore test artifacts (Cleanroom)
• RTO/RPO performance.

You get regulator-ready proof without manual collation – and boards see a living report of resilience, not lagging indicators.

Financial sector: map DORA to recovery outcomes

For banks and insurers, DORA makes digital operational resilience a first-class obligation. Map your controls to recovery outcomes that matter: tested clean restores, third-party risk boundaries, and executive reporting. Our model links air-gapped copies, SoD, and cleanroom validation to DORA’s governance and testing expectations—so compliance aligns with business continuity, not paperwork.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery with Backup as a Service

Downtime is not an option. Our Backup as a Service guarantees fast, reliable data recovery with Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) tailored to your business. Whether facing hardware failures, cyberattacks, or natural disasters, we restore your data quickly – minimizing disruption and financial impact. Our managed services eliminates the complexity of disaster recovery planning and execution, allowing you to focus on business priorities.

Separation of Duties – A Robust Foundation for Cybersecurity

Our unconditional Separation of Duties (SoD) governance framework forms the cornerstone of your data protection defense strategy. This approach significantly reduces operational risks and guarantees continuous data availability, even during sophisticated cyberattacks or disruptions. By clearly defining roles and responsibilities, B4Restore provides comprehensive protection, ensuring data integrity and maintaining operational continuity, enabling organizations to confidently manage their critical assets.

Air Gapped and Immutable backups combined with Backup as a Service

In today’s environment of pervasive cyber threats and frequent data breaches, securing critical business data is essential for organizations of all sizes. Adopting robust backup strategies, particularly Air-Gapped and Immutable Backups, is crucial for ensuring data integrity, availability, and resilience against evolving cyber risks.

Backup as a Service Compliance with DORA and NIS2 Regulations

Regulatory landscapes are evolving, and compliance is crucial. We are proactively aligning with DORA and NIS2 cybersecurity standards, ensuring our Backup as a Service meet the highest industry benchmarks for data protection, risk management, incident reporting, and third-party oversight. As regulations evolve, we continuously enhance our framework to provide fully compliant data protection.
