Zero Trust Architecture for Data Backup and Recovery in the Defense Sector

Western defense and military organizations are broadly working to modernize their IT infrastructure to meet the challenges of tomorrow. This whitepaper discusses the considerations and advantages of using Bacula Enterprise as a central data backup and recovery system within defense organizations. It also illustrates how it can — and does — facilitate a specific, yet critical part in these organization’s enterprisewide approach to digital modernization and achieving Zero Trust Architecture in the backup environment. As stability deteriorates internationally and geo-political tensions grow, Bacula respectfully recommends that all organization stakeholders, from IT managers up to CXO level, are aware of the key issues highlighted in this paper, and work diligently to ensure they are addressed.
