Shifting the Paradigm from Vulnerable Backups to Invincible Recovery

The traditional "defense-in-depth" model is failing. In 2026, ransomware strains are designed with one primary goal: to find, compromise, and wipe out the backup infrastructure before the first file is even encrypted. If your backup can be seen, it can be killed.

It’s time to change the game. This session introduces Spherical Security - a departure from linear, layered defenses toward a holistic, 360-degree protection model. We will explore how to create a "Ransomware Deadlock" where attackers, even with administrative privileges, find themselves unable to delete, modify, or encrypt the recovery core.

We will deconstruct the architecture of an invincible repository by implementing the 3-2-1-1-0 Rule:

* The Power of One (Immutability): Leveraging Single Write Repository logic and WORM (Write Once, Read Many) technology to ensure data stays unchangeable at the bit level.

* The Modern AirGap: Beyond the "offline" myth—how to achieve logical and physical isolation that meets 2026’s recovery speed requirements.

* The Zero-Point (Integrity): Why the "0" in 3-2-1-1-0 (zero errors through automated verification) is the most critical metric in a post-attack scenario.

Attendees will gain a new perspective on data storage trends and a technical blueprint for building a recovery environment that doesn't just survive ransomware but makes it irrelevant.

Key Learning Objectives (Key Takeaways):
* Defining Spherical Security: Why the transition from "layers" to "spheres" is necessary to protect against credential harvesting and internal threats.
* The Anatomy of a Single Write Repository: A deep dive into how WORM-based storage prevents "encryption-at-rest" attacks.
* Advanced 3-2-1-1-0 Implementation: Mastering the latest evolution of the golden backup rule for enterprise-grade resilience.
* AirGap 2.0: How to implement effective isolation without sacrificing the automation and speed of modern IT operations.
