Separation of Duty
Ensuring
that backup data is validated is key to being prepared for a future recovery,
which means that all data, including TDE databases, must be validated for
recoverability at each step of the workflow into the Cyber Vault.
Multi-layer anomaly detection in
the architecture ensures that data is valid at all points in the Oracle
ecosystem. Each zone indicated above will perform independent checks to prevent
invalid or compromised data from entering or exiting the zone and ultimately
the Cyber Vault.
- Zone 1
- RMAN will do consistency checks at the database to ensure the backup data is valid before being sent to the Recovery Appliance in the production data center
- Zone 2
- The Recovery Appliance in the production data center performs checks to ensure that the data is valid and complete.
- Data is validated when the RMAN database backup arrives on the Recovery Appliance in the production data center.
- Data replicated from the Recovery Appliance in the production data center is validated again before being sent to the Recovery Appliance in the Cyber Vault.
- Regular automated validation is scheduled within the Recovery Appliance in the production data center to ensure ongoing validity as the data ages.
- Zone 3
- The Recovery Appliance in the Cyber Vault performs checks to ensure that the data is valid and complete
- Data is validated upon arrival into the Recovery Appliance in the Vault from the Recovery Appliance in the production data center.
