There\u2019s an erosion of trust between the organization in charge of protecting data and the families whose information was stolen. Successful ransomware attempts and other cyber threats also present an additional challenge in education: Cyber criminals usually lock down critical systems to force institutions to pay large ransom payments. This halts operations and can lead to school shutdowns that last for days or weeks as IT administrators recover and restore lost data. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recommends that all <a title=\"K-20 institutions implement a data backup and recovery system\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-01\/K-12report_FINAL_V2_508c_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Learn more\">K-20 institutions implement a data backup and recovery system<\/a> to restore essential services when an incident or outage occurs. A strong disaster recovery strategy ensures uninterrupted operations and quick recovery in the event of service interruptions or data corruption. In the case of a ransom wear attack, maintaining operational continuity and recovering data is essential for learning. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft offers two different services that enable schools and institutions to safely and confidently backup data and restore applications and infrastructure: <a title=\"Azure Backup\" href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/backup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Learn more about Azure Backup.\">Azure Backup<\/a> and <a title=\"Azure Site Recovery\" href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/site-recovery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Learn more about Azure Site Recovery.\">Azure Site Recovery<\/a>.

Shibayama noted that Azure backup helped Waseda University address business continuity planning (BCP) issues that proved difficult to surmount with other backup solutions. Additionally, the total cost of Azure Backup\u2014the initial purchase and the five-year running cost\u2014was also less than the previous system, and consolidating vendors reduced operational maintenance because all systems were migrated to the cloud within the centralized Azure portal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"backing-up-systems-for-the-arizona-department-of-education\">Backing up systems for the Arizona Department of Education&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Azure Backup also helped administrators from the Arizona Department of Education achieve peace of mind in the event of a disaster in one of their major systems\u2014all on a shrinking budget. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many primary and secondary school systems facing budget shortfalls, Edward Block and Chris Henry, administrators in the Arizona Department of Education (ADE), have had to do more with less for the past few years.

Any major outage or disruption to AzEDS would be catastrophic from their perspective; in addition to being the primary reporting and data tracking tool for over 1 million students and 50,000 educators, ADE also used the AzEDS system to disperse and manage over $6.5 billion in school funding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With help from Microsoft partners like Veeam Software, ADE was able to set up an innovative backup, recovery, and data management solution. Azure\u2019s flexibility enabled Veeam to easily integrate multitiered Blob Storage. \u201cWe have immutable backups coming from Veeam and immutable storage in Azure\u2014both working in tandem protect our business continuity and data recovery,\u201d said Henry. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manage-outages-and-orchestrate-disaster-recovery-with-azure-site-recovery\">Manage outages and orchestrate disaster recovery with Azure Site Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Overview of Azure Site Recovery\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/94LDYjBhz5c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"isPasted\">Creating backups is one piece of BCDR strategies. Schools and universities also need to maintain operations and recover systems after disruptions occur. While traditional disaster recovery solutions are often piecemeal, expensive, and increase administrative overhead, Azure Site Recovery is a unified system that helps schools and institutions manage outages, and prevent downtime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Azure Site Recovery manages and orchestrates disaster recovery for Azure virtual machines, on-premises virtual machines, and physical servers. Because Azure Site Recovery is simple and cost-effective, there\u2019s no need to purchase additional hardware or hire more IT administrators. It offers resiliency against zonal and regional outages. Using Azure Site Recovery, disaster recovery drills can be conducted to be prepared against any disaster without affecting ongoing replication. Schools and institutions only need to pay for the compute resources in the event of a disaster recovery drill or a real disaster. Azure Site Recovery also has a best-in-class recovery point objective so that complex systems like SAP and SharePoint can be restored in as little as 30 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"built-in-comprehensive-security-and-compliance\">Built-in comprehensive security and compliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready to learn how Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery can help you implement a comprehensive BCDR strategy that aligns with CISA cybersecurity recommendations?
