✦ AI Summary
Dell Technologies said it built a latest-generation backup and Cyber Resilience infrastructure for enterprise-wide data in connection with IBK Industrial Bank’s relocation to the Hanam Data Center.
IBK Industrial Bank completed a new backup system at the Hanam Data Center based on Dell’s enterprise data protection solutions, and introduced a Tapeless environment transition and a Cyber Vault isolation framework.
The deployment applied Dell PowerProtect Data Domain DD9400 and DD9900, Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, and Dell NetWorker, and included three backup copies in addition to the original data, as well as Air Gap and Retention Lock technologies.
Dell Technologies announced on the 13th that it has built a latest-generation backup and Cyber Resilience infrastructure for enterprise-wide data in connection with IBK Industrial Bank’s relocation to the Hanam Data Center. Based on Dell Technologies' enterprise data protection solutions, IBK Industrial Bank completed a new backup system at the Hanam Data Center.
The deployment was carried out in line with IBK Industrial Bank’s relocation to and build-out of the Hanam Data Center. During the process of building the Hanam Data Center, IBK Industrial Bank sought to reduce the burden of managing backup operations based on physical Tape media and pushed ahead with a transition to a Tapeless environment to secure faster recovery.
At the same time, IBK Industrial Bank promoted the introduction of a new backup system to address the limitations of its existing Tape-based backups. Through this, it established a recovery framework that can quickly restore core banking operations in response to advanced ransomware attacks and physical disaster scenarios.
In addition, IBK Industrial Bank introduced a Cyber Vault-based isolation framework to maintain the integrity of backup copies. This Cyber Vault isolation framework goes beyond simple data replication and is intended to respond to attacks and breaches.
The deployment introduced Dell PowerProtect Data Domain DD9400 and DD9900, Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, and Dell NetWorker to establish a new backup framework for the bank’s enterprise-wide systems, including the banking and information systems. The backup architecture retains three backup copies in addition to the original data, and the design is based on a multi-replication structure.
The backup procedure performs a first local backup at the Hanam operations center, then sends the second and third backup data to a separate offsite center and a disaster recovery (DR) center. This was configured so that the backup framework for the bank’s enterprise-wide systems could be operated in stages.
Air Gap and Retention Lock technologies were applied in this process. Air Gap is Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery's logical and physical network-segmentation technology, while Retention Lock is a function that blocks data tampering at the source. The network is connected only when data is being transmitted and cut off after completion, and the isolation is intended to prevent ransomware infiltration and operational mistakes.
By applying the deduplication and compression functions of PowerProtect Data Domain, the data reduction ratio in the actual operating environment reached about 44:1, improving infrastructure efficiency. As a result, data center floor-space costs were reduced, and the integrated management of heterogeneous databases also followed.
Yun Dal-hyeon, an assistant manager at IBK Industrial Bank, said the upgrade of this backup infrastructure is an essential information security measure for the preemptive protection of financial data and systems. He also said it is a measure to meet the security requirements of financial regulators and to secure Cyber Resilience that allows core operations to be normalized within a short time even in the event of a large-scale attack or disaster.
Yoo Sang-mo, president of Dell Technologies Korea, said that the core of Cyber Resilience in the financial sector is building a system that can restore immediately with trustworthy data even after an attack or disaster. He went on to describe the IBK Industrial Bank case as a representative advanced model that implements secure isolation of critical data and an automated recovery process.
