The "Rebuild It" Myth: Relying solely on automated pipeline rebuilds instead of dedicated backups is a failing strategy in modern cloud and Kubernetes environments.

Why Pipelines Fail: Code redeployment cannot restore lost persistent data, replace undocumented tribal knowledge, or function during major repository outages.

Unpredictable New Threats: Unforeseen risks—such as autonomous AI agents creating hidden dependencies or sudden geopolitical shifts—require true disaster recovery, not just quick automated fixes.

The Wisdom of Regulation: Compliance frameworks like DORA and NIS2 shouldn't be viewed as bureaucratic hurdles, but as hard-learned lessons from past IT disasters codified to protect your business.

The Bottom Line: IssTech emphasizes that an independent, robust data protection strategy is the only reliable safety net against the industry's ever-evolving "unknown unknowns."
