Client: A global leader in payment technology, handling over 40 billion transactions annually across 146 countries and 135 currencies.
Business Challenge:
Processing over $2 trillion in transactions annually, the company faced immense pressure to minimize downtime during a cyberattack. Following a ransomware attack on its parent company, the board sought assurance that recovery would be swift and operational disruption minimal.
A gap analysis revealed a critical vulnerability: the inability to validate the integrity of backups. Without verified clean backups, the company couldn’t guarantee recovery readiness, lacked visibility into backup coverage and RPO compliance, and struggled to demonstrate a strong resilience posture to the board.
