Automating AWS Backups for Cyber Resilience | Clumio

As organizations move more critical applications and data to AWS, cyber resilience, ransomware recovery, and backup automation have become essential. Native AWS tools provide important capabilities, but many organizations face challenges around air-gapped protection, immutability, recovery speed, scalability, and cost. In this Clumio Summer Sizzle Webinar, Commvault experts Poojan Kumar, Chief Product and Innovation Officer, Woon Ho Jung, CTO of Cloud Native Products, and Norberto Martinez, Senior Manager, Sales Engineering North Americas, discuss AWS cyber resilience, backup automation, and strategies for protecting cloud-native workloads. The discussion examines common limitations of native AWS backup approaches, including DynamoDB point-in-time recovery, S3 replication, backup costs, recovery complexity, scalability constraints, and the challenges organizations face when recovering mission-critical cloud workloads. The speakers also demonstrate how air-gapped backups, immutable storage, incremental backups, faster recovery, serverless architecture, and cloud-native design principles can help organizations simplify AWS data protection while improving resilience and reducing operational overhead. Real-world customer examples from Atlassian and Duolingo illustrate how large-scale cloud-native organizations approach backup, recovery, scalability, and cost optimization for AWS workloads. KEY TAKEAWAYS - Ransomware and cyber threats increasingly target public cloud environments - AWS credentials and IAM misconfigurations remain common attack paths - Native features such as replication and point-in-time recovery are not the same as true air-gapped backups - Immutable, air-gapped backups strengthen cyber resilience and recovery readiness - Granular recovery capabilities help reduce operational complexity and recovery times - Backup performance directly impacts recovery objectives during business-critical incidents - Cloud-native backup architectures can simplify operations while improving scalability - Organizations should balance security, performance, cost, and simplicity when evaluating AWS backup solutions - Large-scale AWS environments require backup platforms capable of protecting billions of objects and petabytes of data - Automation helps reduce administrative overhead while improving protection coverage TL;DR Learn how organizations can strengthen AWS cyber resilience with air-gapped backups, immutable protection, faster recovery, and cloud-native backup automation designed for modern AWS environments. WHO IS THIS FOR? - Cloud Architects - AWS Administrators - Cloud Operations Teams - Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) - Infrastructure Leaders - Backup and Recovery Administrators - CIO - CISO - Security Architects - IT Operations Teams - Platform Engineering Teams FAQ Q: Why aren't native AWS backup capabilities always sufficient for cyber resilience? A: The webinar discusses how capabilities such as replication and point-in-time recovery may not provide true air-gapped protection, immutability, or simplified recovery workflows needed for ransomware recovery scenarios. Q: Which AWS services are covered in this webinar? A: The discussion includes Amazon S3, DynamoDB, Amazon RDS, EC2, EBS, and cloud-native AWS backup architectures. Q: What is an air-gapped backup? A: An air-gapped backup is a backup copy stored separately from production environments to help protect against cyber attacks, accidental deletion, and unauthorized modification. Q: Why is recovery speed important? A: Faster recovery helps organizations reduce downtime, restore critical business services more quickly, and improve cyber resilience outcomes. Q: What customer examples are discussed? A: The webinar highlights AWS backup and recovery experiences from Atlassian and Duolingo to demonstrate scalability, performance, and cost optimization at cloud scale. #AWS #CloudBackup #CyberResilience #AWSBackup #CloudSecurity #DataProtection #RansomwareProtection #Commvault
