Privileged Access Management (PAM)restricts elevated permissions, reducing the risk of widespread ransomware attacks.Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)protects against credential theft and ensures that even if passwords are compromised, accounts are not easily accessible.Network segmentationbreaks the flat network into secure zones, limiting lateral movement by attackers. SD-WAN and BGP relate to network routing and efficiency, not security architecture specifically. Remote access VPN secures external access but does not solve internal flat network issues. Network Access Control (NAC) is helpful but secondary compared to PAM, MFA, and segmentation in this context.

A.Creating a secondary, immutable storage array and updating it with live data on a continuous basis: An immutable storage array ensures that data, once written, cannot be altered or deleted. This greatly reduces the risk of backup compromise and provides resilience against ransomware attacks, as the ransomware cannot modify or delete the backup data. Maintaining multiple copies of production data with an immutable storage solution ensures data integrity and compliance with the requirement for multiple copies.

Other options:

B. Utilizing two connected storage arrays and ensuring the arrays constantly sync: While this ensures data redundancy, it does not provide protection against ransomware attacks, as both arrays could be compromised simultaneously.

C. Enabling remote journaling on the databases: This ensures real-time transaction mirroring but does not address the requirement for reducing the risk of backup compromise or resilience to ransomware.

D. Setting up anti-tampering on the databases: While this helps ensure data integrity, it does not provide a comprehensive backup solution that meets all the specified requirements.
