Cyber Recovery,
Engineered

Before the Attack.

ZPro Solutions helps organizations turn IBM Power Cyber Vault and IBM Storage Defender Data Protect Vault into a practical cyber-resilience strategy—protecting critical workloads, isolating recoverable data, validating clean recovery points, and preparing teams to restore operations with greater confidence.

From Backup to Resilience

When Primary Systems Are
Compromised, Recovery Must Still
Be Trusted.

Traditional backup and disaster-recovery strategies may preserve copies of data, but they do not always provide the isolation, validation, and response workflows required during a cyber incident. IBM cyber-vault capabilities add protected recovery points and controlled recovery processes. ZPro helps align these capabilities with your critical workloads, recovery priorities, governance, and operating model.

01

Isolate What Must Survive

Create protected copies separated from the primary environment through physical or logical isolation, restricted access, immutability, and controlled vaulting windows.

02

Detect What Has Changed

Use IBM Power and Storage capabilities to identify suspicious activity and support validation of potential recovery points before restoration.

03

Recover With Evidence

Validate protected copies in a clean environment and prepare coordinated recovery workflows around defined business priorities, dependencies, RTOs, and RPOs.

Protection on Your Terms

One Resilience Strategy. Two
Specialized Vault Foundations.

Option One

IBM Power Cyber Vault

For mission-critical IBM Power and AIX environments

IBM Power Cyber Vault combines IBM Power, IBM Storage, automation, safeguarded copies, threat detection, clean-room validation, and recovery workflows into an end-to-end cyber-resilience architecture.

  • Application-aware protected copies
  • Ransomware threat detection
  • Clean-room recovery-point validation
  • Coordinated response and recovery

Where ZPro Adds Value

ZPro helps connect workload priorities, recovery objectives, governance, documentation, and operational processes to the Power Cyber Vault engagement while coordinating with IBM specialists and client teams.

Option Two

IBM Storage Defender Data Protect Vault

For isolated and immutable backup protection

IBM Storage Defender Data Protect Vault creates a protected environment for critical backup copies with isolation from the primary backup control plane and flexible service-managed, cloud, and on-premises deployment approaches.

  • Isolated vaulted copies
  • Immutability and restricted access
  • Controlled vaulting and recovery workflows
  • Cloud and on-premises deployment flexibility

Where ZPro Adds Value

ZPro helps assess data criticality, deployment requirements, recovery priorities, integration dependencies, governance, and operational support needs before and after implementation.

Capabilities, supported platforms, deployment models, and recovery characteristics vary by environment and selected IBM configuration.

A Controlled Path Back to Operations

Protection Is Only the Beginning.

01

Identify

Map critical workloads, dependencies, recovery priorities, regulatory considerations, and acceptable business impact.

02

Protect

Establish isolated and immutable recovery points using the appropriate IBM Power and Storage capabilities.

03

Detect

Monitor for suspicious behavior, storage anomalies, ransomware indicators, and security events that may require validation.

04

Validate

Test potential recovery points in a controlled clean-room environment to determine whether systems, data, and applications are suitable for recovery.

05

Recover

Restore prioritized operations using documented procedures, validated copies, coordinated teams, and established recovery objectives.

IBM supplies the protection, detection, validation, and recovery technologies. ZPro helps connect them to the business processes, governance, people, documentation, and testing practices required for operational readiness.

From Strategy to Recovery Readiness

Build the Operating Model Behind
the Vault.

1

Assess

Review critical workloads, backup architecture, threat exposure, recovery requirements, existing controls, RTO/RPO priorities, and organizational readiness.

2

Architect

Define the target vault approach, isolation model, deployment option, recovery dependencies, governance, responsibilities, and integration requirements.

3

Enable

Coordinate solution implementation, operational procedures, documentation, access models, stakeholder alignment, and team enablement.

4

Prove & Evolve

Support recovery exercises, review validation results, refine runbooks, monitor operational readiness, and adapt the recovery strategy as workloads and threats evolve.

ZPro’s phased approach helps ensure that cyber-vault technology becomes part of a repeatable recovery capability—not an isolated infrastructure project.

Beyond Deployment

Recovery Confidence Must
Be Maintained.

Cyber resilience depends on more than installing technology. ZPro helps organizations maintain the governance, documentation, testing cadence, stakeholder alignment, and operational practices needed to keep recovery plans relevant as infrastructure, applications, and risk priorities change.

01

Clearer recovery priorities and ownership

02

Better alignment between technology and business continuity

03

More consistent recovery documentation and testing

04

An adaptable foundation for evolving cyber-resilience requirements
