Manually securing and releasing the Cyber Recovery vault

If a security breach occurs, the Security Officer or an Admin user can manually secure the Cyber Recovery vault. During this time, the Cyber Recovery software performs no replication operations.

To secure or release (unsecure) the Cyber Recovery vault, log in to Cyber Recovery and access the dashboard. Under Status, do one of the following:

• To secure the Cyber Recovery vault if you suspect a security breach, click Secure Vault so that the Cyber Recovery vault status changes from Locked to Secured. All Sync policy operations stop immediately and no new Sync policy operations can be initiated. The Cyber Recovery software also issues an alert that the Cyber Recovery vault is secured.
  NOTE: All non-Sync policies can be run in the Cyber Recovery vault while it is secured.
• To unsecure the vault when you are confident that there is no longer a security threat, click Release Vault. The Cyber Recovery vault status returns to Locked. Sync policy operations can now be initiated.
