Resilience is now a software discipline. Modern SaaS platforms turn DR/BC from binders and manual steps into codified, testable, automated workflows: continuous, immutable backups; replication and warm/cold standbys; one‑click or policy‑driven failover; integrated incident communications; and auditable evidence for regulators and customers. The winning pattern is hybrid: protect workloads across on‑prem, edge, and clouds with … Read more
Multi‑cloud in 2025 isn’t “run everything everywhere.” It’s selective portability: a cloud‑agnostic control plane with data/compute placed for sovereignty, latency, and cost. The goal is resilience, market reach, and customer trust—while avoiding a 2x complexity tax. The playbook: standardize on Kubernetes + service mesh, design a portable data plane, abstract cloud dependencies behind interfaces, adopt … Read more
Ransomware defense for SaaS is about reducing blast radius, blocking initial access, stopping lateral movement, making encryption and exfiltration hard, and rehearsing fast recovery. Focus on identity, segmentation, hardened endpoints/workloads, immutable backups, and practiced incident response—with developer‑friendly automation so security doesn’t slow shipping. Priorities that move risk the most SaaS-specific hardening (multi‑tenant and cloud realities) … Read more
SaaS has become the backbone of modern resilience programs. It replaces brittle, manual runbooks with policy‑driven automation, verifiable backups, and multiregion failover—so organizations can withstand outages, cyber incidents, and regional disruptions while meeting regulatory and customer commitments. Why SaaS changes DR/BCP Core capabilities SaaS brings to resilience Architecture blueprint for DR‑ready SaaS programs Security, compliance, … Read more
Outages, ransomware, supplier failures, and regional incidents are inevitable. What’s optional is prolonged downtime and data loss. Strong disaster recovery (DR) turns existential events into short interruptions—with clear objectives, rehearsed playbooks, and architectures that fail gracefully. In 2025, customers, auditors, and insurers expect DR to be a first‑class product capability, not a dusty binder. The … Read more
Disaster recovery (DR) for SaaS isn’t just about backups—it’s about designing for failure, testing regularly, and communicating clearly so customers experience minimal disruption. Use this blueprint to set pragmatic RTO/RPO targets, architect resilient systems, and run an operations cadence that keeps you ready. Outcomes to target (set these first) Architecture for resilience and fast recovery … Read more
