Nuabee: a cloud-based digital twin focused on cyber resilience #
The Nuabee solution acts as a complete, isolated digital replica in the cloud, built around a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) that accurately describes your IT environments. As a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), it can be activated immediately or on demand, ensuring optimal business continuity in the event of a major incident or attack.
Hosted in a public cloud, this digital twin inherently benefits from advanced cloud features: rapid scalability, availability of ready-to-use OS images and configurations, automated security tools, proactive monitoring, enhanced encryption, and strict isolation of production environments.
Extended uses for proactive cyber resilience #
Beyond its initial function of ensuring business continuity in the event of a major incident, the Nuabee digital twin paves the way for a proactive cyber risk management strategy:
- Proactive vulnerability analysis: carry out regular automated scanning campaigns (networks, systems, applications) and manual or automated intrusion tests to detect, analyze, and anticipate potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
- Realistic simulation of attack scenarios: test realistic attacks such as ransomware campaigns, targeted intrusions, and denial-of-service attacks to assess your actual resilience and your teams’ ability to respond.
- Security team training and coaching: leverage this digital environment to train your teams to effectively detect, respond to, and remediate various cyberattack scenarios in a secure and controlled environment.
Intrinsic limitations of a cloud solution #
Although powerful, this approach has certain inherent technical limitations related to the difference in architecture between your original IT environments (often “on-premises”) and the cloud environment:
- Attacks targeting the source hypervisor: certain specific attacks targeting your local hypervisor (e.g., VMware) cannot be accurately reproduced in the digital twin’s cloud environment.
- Specific hardware attacks: scenarios related to vulnerabilities that are directly dependent on the original physical hardware (firmware, BIOS, specific hardware controllers) cannot be simulated in the cloud.
Conclusion: a comprehensive and proactive approach #
Malgré ces limites, le recours à une architecture jumelle Cloud telle que Nuabee constitue une étape majeure vers une cyber-résilience accrue. Cette démarche proactive vous permet de maîtriser vos risques cyber avec une efficacité renforcée, tout en assurant une reprise d’activité rapide en cas de crise majeure.
