A company wants to ensure that its online service remains operational and accessible in the event of a single data center going offline due to a natural disaster. From the options below, select the BEST strategy that aligns most closely with ensuring resilience and recovery capabilities in their security architecture.
Enforcing strict data sovereignty measures for all stored data
Regular on-site backups with high-frequency snapshot capabilities
Use of a single, high-capacity Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for the primary data center
Implementation of a multi-site infrastructure with geographically dispersed data centers
Implementing a multi-site strategy with geographic dispersion is the best option for ensuring resilience and recovery. By having redundant, geographically dispersed sites, the company can ensure that the failure of one site, such as a data center, due to a localized disaster does not impact the overall availability of the service. A UPS only protects against local power failures, not a site-wide disaster. On-site backups would be lost along with the data center in a natural disaster. Data sovereignty is a legal and compliance requirement, not a technical resilience strategy itself.
