Operations, Backup and Continuity
By combining continuous monitoring, a robust backup strategy, and reproducible infrastructure, we can handle both planned changes and unexpected incidents in a controlled manner.
Operations and monitoring
Operations are supported by centralized monitoring and logging, providing full visibility into system status and behavior. Systems and resources are continuously monitored to enable rapid identification and handling of anomalies.
Monitoring covers the application, infrastructure, and underlying platform.
This means that:
- Continuous monitoring of systems, resources, and services
- Centralized logging from all components
- Automated alerts for anomalies and incidents
- Visualization of system status and health
- Real-time analysis of abnormal behavior
Backup and recovery
We maintain a comprehensive backup and recovery strategy to ensure that data can be restored in the event of incidents or failures.
Backups are performed continuously and stored separately from the production environment to reduce the risk of data loss.
This means that:
- Continuous backup of databases
- Point-in-time restore with approximately 15-minute intervals
- Backup stored across multiple separate locations
- Geographically separated storage
- Retention of backup history
- Automated alerts for failed backup jobs
Recovery is performed in a controlled manner and verified before systems are returned to operation.
Continuity and recovery capability
The platform is designed to handle disruptions and incidents without data loss or prolonged unavailability.
Through defined processes and technical safeguards, we ensure that systems can be restored quickly and securely when needed.
This means that:
- Rapid restoration of systems and data
- Defined processes for incident handling and recovery
- Verification of recovery capability
- Controlled system restart after incidents
- Ensuring data integrity during recovery
Reproducible and automated platform
A key part of our operational strategy is that infrastructure is fully defined as code and automated. This ensures that the entire environment can be recreated in a controlled and consistent way.
By using Infrastructure as Code, we reduce the risk of manual errors and ensure traceability of all changes.
This means that:
- Infrastructure defined and managed as code
- Automated provisioning of environments
- Full traceability of changes
- Consistent configuration across environments
- Ability to rapidly recreate the platform
Controlled change management
All changes to the system and operational environment are handled through a controlled and documented process. The goal is to minimize risk and ensure stable operation.
Changes are analyzed, tested, and verified before being introduced into production.
This means that:
- Risk assessment before changes
- Testing in separate environments
- Controlled release processes
- Gradual deployment strategies
- Rollback capability if needed
- Full traceability of changes
Platform security and resilience
The platform is built using modern technologies and security principles to achieve high resilience against disruptions and attacks. The focus is on combining strong isolation, hardening, and automation to reduce risk and increase control.
We continuously improve platform security and robustness through technical measures and architectural decisions.
This means that:
- Distribution across multiple availability zones
- Scalable and high-capacity cluster architecture
- Hardened Kubernetes cluster based on established benchmarks
- Stricter network rules and segmentation
- Implementation of Zero Trust principles
- Enhanced internal encryption between services
- Centralized management and rotation of keys and secrets
- Built-in protection against DDoS and malicious traffic
- Extended logging, monitoring, and anomaly detection
This technical foundation enables the platform to handle both operational disruptions and security threats in a controlled and effective manner.
Summary
Operations of Ciso are designed to ensure continuity, data protection, and stability even in the event of disruptions.
This means that:
- Systems are continuously monitored and anomalies are quickly detected
- Backup is performed continuously with detailed recovery capabilities
- Data is securely stored and geographically separated
- The platform can be recreated through automation
- Changes are controlled and traceable
- The system is built with modern security principles and high resilience
Together, this ensures that Ciso can be delivered with high availability and strong continuity even in complex scenarios.
