Case Study: CEZ Group strengthens cyber resilience and disaster recovery with Xopero Unified Protection

CEZ Group strengthens critical infrastructure backup with Xopero and protects 25% of Krakow’s heating demand

The CEZ Group, a major European energy group and critical infrastructure operator, faced the challenge of protecting its technological processes from intentional cyber-sabotage and data loss. Its complex and restricted IT environment required an automated backup solution to ensure business continuity. To meet this need, CEZ selected the Xopero Unified Protection solution from vendor Xopero.

Xopero implemented a custom solution, including hardware with an added fiber optic module, tailored to the power plant's secure DMZ network. The results were significant: backups became automated and fully monitored, saving management time and facilitating security audits. The implementation provided CEZ with confidence in its disaster recovery capabilities, featuring technologies like Bare Metal Restore and immutable storage to minimize downtime and protect against ransomware, ensuring the continuity of its critical operations.
