US Patent 11323552 Automatic security configurations in disaster recovery

Systems and methods for automatically configuring security groups during data protection operations including disaster recovery operations. In preparation for recovering a source site to a target site, security information at the source site is collected and classified. The classified security information is stored as a disaster recovery plan at least for security aspects of the disaster recovery process. The disaster recovery plan can be implemented at the target site such that security risks are minimized and connectivity errors are minimized during the recovery process.
