CRaaS + DRaaS: A Strategy for Business Resilience

When CRaaS and DRaaS work together, organizations gain a holistic recovery model

What is Cyber Recovery?

For many organizations, Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) has long been the backbone of continuity planning. But as cyberattacks evolve, businesses discover that DRaaS alone can be insufficient. Cyber Recovery as a Service (CRaaS) completes the picture, ensuring system availability and data integrity. Together, these solutions form a powerful defense against disruption and downtime.

Traditional Recovery Gaps

Ransomware, insider threats, and targeted breaches now focus on corrupting or encrypting backups, leaving even strong recovery plans potentially compromised. While DRaaS helps restore infrastructure and applications after an outage, it assumes the data is trustworthy. When that assumption fails, recovery efforts stall, and downtime grows.

  • Backup Corruption: Attackers now encrypt or delete recovery data
  • Extended Downtime: Disaster Recovery systems restore availability, but not integrity
  • Increased Risk: Without clean data, businesses risk reinfection and compliance failures

Unified Recovery for Every Scenario

When CRaaS and DRaaS work together, organizations gain a holistic recovery model. DRaaS restores critical systems and workloads, while CRaaS ensures the restored data is clean, isolated, and verified. This combination covers both accidental failures and malicious attacks, helping teams restore operations quickly and confidently.

  • DRaaS: Restores systems and uptime
  • CRaaS: Ensures clean data and trust
  • Together: They minimize downtime and protect business continuity
