Based on years of real ransomware recoveries, Dave presents the architecture behind SADA/SADAN — a hardened, fully segmented, ransomware-resistant network that isolates hypervisors, backup infrastructure, Active Directory, Veeam, and management planes.

This session shows you the blueprint used at real customers: dual AD forests, privileged access zones, immutable storage, network firebreaks, offline backup paths, and incident containment strategies that actually work during a breach. You'll walk away with a complete architectural map to build your own ransomware-proof environment.
