Mainframe Data Recovery with AWS
Organizations are navigating an increasingly complex risk environment — from geopolitical instability and regulatory change, to cyberattacks, ransomware, and infrastructure disruptions. For enterprises running mission-critical workloads on the mainframe, the stakes of downtime are existential.
Join experts from BMC and AWS for a one-hour webinar on how to address this risk directly — enabling automated, immutable disaster recovery for mainframe environments on AWS, with the speed, reliability, and security modern DR demands. Because continuity isn't only defined by uptime — it's defined by recoverability and usability.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn how to leverage a proven, low-risk path to cyber protection in the cloud without rewriting your mainframe environment — while cutting tape-related cost and complexity.
- Discover WORM-locked, immutable backups that hold even against admin credentials — the ransomware can't touch what it can't alter.
- See how AWS's global infrastructure delivers geographic redundancy for out-of-region recovery, and what it takes to prove that recoverability under regulations like DORA.
Find out how to safely unlock trapped mainframe data to integrate into AI/ML models for better business insights.

event summary
Why cyber resilience is redefining mainframe data recovery strategies
Rising cyber threats, regulatory scrutiny, and geopolitical uncertainty are reshaping how organizations think about resilience. Industry experts explore why traditional recovery models are no longer enough and how recovery readiness has become a board-level priority.
core insights
From backup thinking to resilience by design
Organizations are shifting from basic backup practices toward comprehensive resilience strategies built to withstand modern disruptions.
1
Resilience now starts with assuming compromise
Traditional recovery plans were designed for hardware failures and localized outages. Modern threats such as ransomware require organizations to assume attackers may already be inside their environments and prepare for recovery accordingly.
2
Regulatory pressure is raising the recovery standard
New operational resilience requirements demand more than having backups in place. Organizations must demonstrate recovery capabilities through documented processes, testing, auditability, and geographically separated recovery options.
3
Data availability is becoming a strategic advantage
Archived mainframe data is no longer viewed solely as a recovery asset. Organizations increasingly want to make historical transaction data accessible for analytics, business intelligence, and AI-driven decision-making.
what this means
Building confidence through recoverability
The conversation highlights a shift in buyer priorities from backup ownership to recovery outcomes. Decision-makers are focusing on proof of resilience, operational readiness, and the ability to minimize business disruption when incidents occur.
Key takeaways:
- Assess recovery readiness against modern ransomware and cyberattack scenarios.
- Validate recovery plans through regular testing and documented recovery procedures.
- Establish geographically separated recovery copies to reduce concentration risk.
- Review retention policies and recovery objectives to align with regulatory requirements.
- Unlock historical data for analytics and AI initiatives while maintaining governance controls.
“I think we need to start thinking, assume breach, not hope not to have a breach.”
