Configuration Disaster Recovery to GitHub

Zack Bentolila

Configuration Disaster Recovery to GitHub

ControlMonkey now supports GitHub Configuration Backup and Recovery, enabling teams to automatically back up and restore critical GitHub configurations, including repository settings, branch protection rules, permissions, and workflows.

GitHub controls how code is shipped, who can access it, and how pipelines operate – yet its configuration layer is rarely protected by a resilience solution.

Introducing GitHub Configuration Backup and Recovery

  • Protect repository configurations, access controls, and branch rules
  • Continuously capture workflows, policies, and configuration states
  • Restore GitHub environments quickly after incidents or misconfigurations
  • Reduce risk from human error, automation failures, or malicious changes
  • Extend disaster recovery to your software delivery control plane

Examples of protected GitHub configurations include:

  • Repository settings that define collaboration and visibility
  • Branch protection rules enforcing code quality and deployment safety
  • Permissions and access controls across teams and users
  • GitHub Actions workflows powering CI/CD pipelines
  • Webhooks and integrations connecting GitHub to external systems 

Why Do You Need a Resilience Solution for GitHub?

GitHub is deeply embedded in your production delivery pipeline – meaning misconfigurations or compromises can immediately impact deployments, access control, and development velocity.

Here are some of the key risks teams face:

  • Ransomware or account takeover – What happens if your GitHub organization is compromised? Attackers could modify repositories, remove protections, or disrupt pipelines.
  • Cyber attacks / malicious actors – Unauthorized changes to workflows, permissions, or integrations can expose code, bypass controls, or break delivery processes.
  • Human error – Even experienced engineers make mistakes—removing branch protection, misconfiguring access, or altering workflows in the wrong repository.
  • Over-permissive AI agents – As AI-driven automation expands in CI/CD, agents with broad permissions can unintentionally introduce risky or large-scale configuration changes.

ControlMonkey helps teams safeguard GitHub by protecting the configuration layer that defines how code is managed, how pipelines run, and who has access.

Stay Ahead with GitHub Backup and Recovery

GitHub is no longer just a code repository – it is a critical layer in your infrastructure and application delivery pipeline. When configuration is lost or altered, pipelines break, access control is compromised, and recovery becomes manual and slow.

ControlMonkey brings GitHub into your Cloud Configuration Disaster Recovery strategy by continuously backing up configuration states and enabling fast, reliable restoration. This ensures that delivery workflows, governance policies, and access structures remain intact—even during outages or security incidents.

With full visibility into configuration changes and the ability to recover instantly, teams can reduce risk, maintain IaC alignment, and scale operations without losing control.

    Identity Providers Disaster Recovery

    Identity Providers Disaster Recovery

    ControlMonkey now extends Cloud Configuration Disaster Recovery to identity providers, protecting identity environments across Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, OneLogin, Ping Identity, and JumpCloud.

    Modern cloud operations rely heavily on identity providers. During daily operations and incidents, SSO, MFA policies, and access rules control how users interact with infrastructure, SaaS applications, and internal systems.

    Yet the configurations behind these systems – authentication policies, app assignments, roles, and access controls – are rarely protected by a solution for disaster recovery.

    Identity DR Key capabilities:

    ControlMonkey automatically captures daily snapshots of identity configurations so teams can restore access environments and maintain operational continuity during incidents.

    Protect access control configuration
    Backup SSO settings, MFA policies, app assignments, roles, and identity rules created over time.

    Restore identity environments quickly
    Recover identity configurations from versioned snapshots instead of rebuilding access policies manually.

    Detect configuration drift in identity systems
    Track changes across IDP platforms and identify unexpected or unauthorized modifications.

    Preserve identity-to-system relationships
    Maintain consistency between identity policies, application access, and infrastructure during recovery.

    Extend disaster recovery beyond infrastructure
    Protect the broader cloud control plane including infrastructure, network, observability, and identity configuration.

    Identity is not just another system – it’s the layer that connects users to everything else. Recovering identity in isolation doesn’t work. You need to restore it together with the infrastructure and applications it controls.

    Aharon Twizer

    Aharon Twizer

    CEO & Co-Founder

    How does Identity Configuration Disaster Recovery work?

    ControlMonkey Cloud DR solution continuously captures configuration snapshots from supported identity providers.

    Each snapshot records the structure and settings of identity environments, including:

    • SSO and federation configurations
    • MFA and authentication policies
    • Application assignments and integrations
    • Roles, groups, and permissions
    • Directory and access control structures

    These configurations are versioned and stored securely, allowing teams to compare changes over time and restore previous configurations when needed.

    If access policies are misconfigured, applications are disconnected, or identity rules break and and cause an incident –  teams can restore identity configurations directly from a previous snapshot – without manually rebuilding/configuring access environments.

    Why Disaster Recovery for the Identity Layer?

    Traditional disaster recovery focuses on restoring data and storage.
    But modern cloud environments depend on access.

    The identity layer connects users to infrastructure, SaaS applications, and internal systems – making it a critical part of the cloud control plane.

    With ControlMonkey, teams can:

    • Maintain versioned backups of identity environments
    • Detect configuration changes and drift
    • Restore identity systems quickly during incidents
    • Ensure DR visibility with a clear Resilience Score

     At scale, restoring access quickly remains a challenge. Identity configurations are complex, frequently changing, and tightly connected to other systems.

    By extending configuration disaster recovery to identity providers, ControlMonkey helps teams maintain operational continuity across both systems and access.

    Cross-layer recovery: identity + infrastructure + SaaS

    Identity does not operate in isolation.

    ControlMonkey preserves and restores the relationships between identity, infrastructure, SaaS applications, and cloud resources — ensuring systems and access remain aligned after a  recovery.

    This prevents scenarios where identity is restored but underlying systems are not – or vice versa.

      Introducing LaunchDarkly Disaster Recovery

      Zack Bentolila

      Zack Bentolila

      Marketing Director

      Introducing LaunchDarkly Disaster Recovery

      ControlMonkey now supports LaunchDarkly Disaster Recovery, enabling teams to automatically back up and restore critical LaunchDarkly configurations, including feature flags, segments, and views.

      LaunchDarkly controls feature rollout and targeting rules in real time, yet its configuration layer is rarely protected by a resilience solution.

      Why do you need a resilience solution for LaunchDarkly? 

      Feature flag platforms like LaunchDarkly are deeply embedded in your production environment meaning misconfigurations or compromises can have immediate, widespread impact.

       Here are some of the key risks teams face:

      • Ransomware or account takeover –  What happens if your LaunchDarkly account is compromised? An attacker could modify or disable critical flags, impacting availability and user experience. 
      • Cyber attacks / malicious actors – Unauthorized changes to feature flags can be used to expose functionality, bypass controls, or disrupt your application. 
      • Human error –  Even experienced engineers can make mistakes – accidentally toggling the wrong flag or applying changes to the wrong environment. 
      • Over-permissive AI agents – With the rise of AI-assisted workflows (e.g., LaunchDarkly MCP server), agents operating with admin-level permissions can unintentionally introduce risky or large-scale changes.

      ControlMonkey helps teams safeguard LaunchDarkly by protecting the operational logic that defines how features are released, who sees them, and how changes are rolled out.

      Examples of protected LaunchDarkly configurations include:

      • Feature flags controlling runtime application behavior
      • Targeting rules defining rollout logic and user exposure
      • Segments used for user targeting and progressive delivery
      • Views organizing feature management workflows

      With this capability, teams can:

      • Automatically back up LaunchDarkly configurations
      • Track changes to feature flags and targeting over time
      • Recover quickly from accidental changes or deletions
      • Reduce risk across production release processes
      • Restore feature flags and targeting logic without manual reconstruction

      How LaunchDarkly Disaster Recovery Works

      From discovery to recovery, ControlMonkey ensures LaunchDarkly configurations are always backed up, versioned, and ready to restore in minutes. Here is the full process:

      Snapshot and Backup

      • ControlMonkey continuously captures the state of LaunchDarkly configurations and creates versioned snapshots.
      • This provides a reliable historical record of feature flags, segments, and targeting logic across environments.

      Recover – Feature Flags, Segments, and Views

      • If configurations are deleted or misconfigured, teams can restore them from a known-good snapshot in minutes.
      • This eliminates manual rebuilding of feature flags and targeting rules—reducing recovery time and avoiding errors.

      Review & Govern

      • The ControlMonkey Cloud Resilience Dashboard provides visibility into disaster recovery readiness across infrastructure and SaaS platforms like LaunchDarkly.
      • Teams can monitor protection coverage and identify resilience gaps before incidents occur.

      Stay Ahead with Darkly Disaster Recovery

      Feature management platforms like LaunchDarkly are critical to modern software delivery. Yet while organizations focus on application code and infrastructure, the configuration layer that controls feature rollout and targeting often remains unprotected.

      ControlMonkey ensures LaunchDarkly configurations are protected alongside infrastructure and SaaS platforms. By continuously backing up configuration states and enabling rapid restoration, teams can recover quickly from outages, misconfigurations, and unintended changes—and maintain control over production behavior.

          Disaster Recovery for Observability: Dashboards, Alerts, and Monitors

          Zack Bentolila

          Zack Bentolila

          Marketing Director

          Disaster Recovery for Observability: Dashboards, Alerts, and Monitors

          Observability Disaster Recovery is the new addtioan to Controlmonkey DR Soultion. Modern cloud operations rely heavily on observability. During incidents, dashboards, alerts, and monitoring rules are often the first place engineers turn to understand what’s happening.

          Yet the configurations behind these systems – dashboards, alert policies, monitors, and escalation rules – are rarely protected by disaster recovery.

          Introducing Observability Configuration Disaster Recovery

          ControlMonkey now extends Cloud Configuration Disaster Recovery to observability platforms, protecting monitoring environments across Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace, Grafana Cloud, and Splunk.

          ControlMonkey automatically captures daily snapshots of observability configurations so teams can restore monitoring environments and maintain operational visibility during incidents.

          Observability DR Key capabilities:

          • Protect operational knowledge
            Backup dashboards, monitors, alert rules, and escalation policies created over years of operational tuning.
          • Restore monitoring environments quickly
            Recover observability configurations from versioned snapshots instead of rebuilding manually.
          • Detect configuration drift in monitoring systems
            Track changes across observability platforms and identify unexpected modifications.
          • Ensure monitoring visibility during incidents
            Maintain access to critical dashboards and alerts when diagnosing outages.
          • Extend disaster recovery beyond infrastructure
            Protect the broader cloud control plane including infrastructure, network, and observability configuration.

          How does Observability Configuration Disaster Recovery Works?

          ControlMonkey Cloud DR solution continuously captures configuration snapshots from supported observability platforms.

          Each snapshot records the structure and settings of monitoring environments, including:

          • Dashboards and visualizations
          • Alert rules and alert routing policies
          • Monitors across metrics, logs, and traces
          • Notification channels and escalation policies
          • Service monitoring and APM configurations
          • Click on the image to enlarge


          These configurations are versioned and stored securely, allowing teams to compare changes over time and restore previous configurations when needed.

          If dashboards are deleted, alerts are misconfigured, or monitoring rules break during an incident, engineers can restore observability configurations directly from a previous snapshot – without manually rebuilding monitoring environments.

          Why Disaster Recovery for the Observability Layer?

          Traditional disaster recovery focuses on restoring data, storage, and infrastructure.

          But modern cloud environments rely on far more than compute resources. The cloud control plane – including monitoring configuration – contains the operational knowledge engineers depend on to diagnose and resolve incidents.

          With ControlMonkey, teams can:

          • Maintain versioned backups of observability environments
          • Detect configuration changes and drift
          • Restore monitoring systems quickly during incidents
          • Ensure DR visibility by having clear Resilience Score

          By extending configuration disaster recovery to observability, ControlMonkey helps teams maintain operational continuity across the entire cloud environment.

          During incidents, engineers rely on monitoring systems to understand what’s happening – yet observability configurations themselves are rarely protected by disaster recovery. As a CTO, I know firsthand how valuable it would have been to restore dashboards and monitoring environments instantly instead of rebuilding them under pressure.

            ControlMonkey connects to Dynatrace using secure APIs and automatically discovers configuration assets including dashboards, monitors, alerts, and metrics.

            Snapshot and Backup

            On a continuous basis, ControlMonkey captures the exact configuration state of Dynatrace resources and creates versioned snapshots of those configurations.

            Recover 

            If dashboards, monitors, or alerts are deleted or misconfigured, teams can quickly restore them from a good known snapshot – recovering observability environments in minutes.

            Review & Govern

            The ControlMonkey Cloud Resilience Dashboard provides visibility into DR readiness across cloud infrastructure and SaaS tools, helping teams identify gaps before incidents occur.

            Stay Ahead with Dynatrace Disaster Recovery

            As a CTO, I’m proud to introduce this capability. In my previous roles, having the ability to quickly recover from mistakes and investigate configuration changes would have saved days of troubleshooting and manual work

            Observability platforms are critical for detecting and resolving incidents. If monitoring configurations are lost during an outage or attack, recovery becomes significantly harder.

            ControlMonkey ensures Dynatrace configurations are protected alongside infrastructure and SaaS platforms. By continuously backing up configuration states and enabling rapid restoration, teams can maintain operational visibility even during critical incidents.

            This extends disaster recovery beyond data and infrastructure – ensuring the monitoring systems themselves are resilient.

              Cloud Resilience Dashboard

              Cloud Resilience Dashboard gives organizations a measurable view of their configuration disaster recovery posture across cloud accounts and 3rd party services.

              It introduces a single, actionable metric – Resilience Score – representing the percentage of discovered resources that are backed up and recoverable from a known-good snapshot.

              For the 1st time Cloud executives can understand their resilience score in a single view.

              Introducing the Cloud Resilience Dashboard

              The dashboard is designed to answer critical operational and executive questions instantly:

              • What percentage of our cloud infrastructure is actually DR-ready?
              • Where are our configuration blind spots?
              • Did our DR coverage regress this week? Why?
              • Are unmanaged (non-IaC) resources included in DR coverage?
              • Are our 3rd party vendors (e.g Datadog, Cloudflare, Okta) configurations ready for DR?

              The Resilience Score reflects continuous discovery and snapshot coverage across:

              • Cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) –  Infrastructure environments with DR enabled
              • 3rd Party Accounts — SaaS and external platforms with DR enabled
                • Network configurations
                • Identity providers
                • Monitoring platforms
                • More

              If a resource does not have a recoverable snapshot, it lowers the score. Gaps are immediately visible.

              From Snapshot to Measurable Resilience

              ControlMonkey daily snapshots guarantee resilience across cloud and 3rd parties. But as a CIO/CISO, you need a metric you can report back to your risk committee/board of directors. What matters is coverage, consistency, and visibility.The Cloud Resilience Dashboard connects snapshot activity to a measurable outcome – your Resilience Score.

              Benefits of the dashboard for CIO and CISO:

              • Quantify the percentage of infrastructure that is truly recoverable
              • Detect newly added resources that are not yet protected
              • Identify partial DR configurations at the account level
              • Monitor coverage trends over time
              • Validate that unmanaged (non-IaC) resources are included

              You can also search and filters (Vendor, DR Status, Labels) allow teams to quickly locate exposed accounts and prioritize action.

              Configuration recovery becomes measurable and governed – you have a clear idea of your RTO and RPO of your cloud.

              Built for Governance and Executive Reporting

              The Cloud Resilience Dashboard transforms configuration disaster recovery into a tracked governance metric.

                ControlMonkey Expands Cloud Disaster Recovery to the Network Layer

                Zack Bentolila

                Marketing Director

                ControlMonkey Expands Cloud Disaster Recovery to the Network Layer

                ControlMonkey now extends Cloud Configuration Disaster Recovery to leading network vendors, including Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, and F5 – bringing visibility and automated recovery to routing, DNS, and edge configurations.

                As cloud environments scale, disaster recovery can’t stop at data. While organizations invest heavily in data backup and ransomware protection, network configuration often remains outside formal disaster recovery strategies.

                In November 2025, an internal configuration change led to a global withdrawal of routing prefixes, disrupting Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver worldwide. Applications became unreachable — even though data and workloads remained intact. The failure wasn’t infrastructure. It was network configuration.

                Introducing Network Configuration Disaster Recovery

                With ControlMonkey, teams can restore networking policies and routing configurations directly from versioned configuration snapshots  significantly reducing manual rebuild efforts and accelerating recovery time.

                Additional capabilities include:

                • Automated configuration recovery: Restore routing tables, security groups, DNS records, firewall rules, and edge policies from versioned snapshots.
                • Time machine for Networking configuration: easily track changes over time, restore previous configuration with a click of a button.
                • Real-time drift detection:Continuously monitor cloud and network configuration changes to prevent risky modifications from escalating into outages.
                • Recovery readiness visibility:Centralized insight into configuration coverage and restore capability across cloud and edge environments.
                • Improved RTO/RPO confidence: Reduce downtime caused by manual network rebuilds and accelerate restoration of reachable production environments.
                Network Configuration Disaster Recovery and Network Disaster Recovery coverage across Akamai, Fastly, Cloudflare, and F5 platforms.

                How It Works – Network Configuration Backup

                To protect backup configurations, ControlMonkey uses a structured Cloud disaster recovery process: Discover existing configurations, Snapshot them as versioned recovery points, Recover when incidents occur, and continuously Review readiness.

                1) Discover

                Using read-only API access, ControlMonkey continuously discovers routing rules, DNS records, firewall policies, CDN configurations, and edge definitions across supported vendors.

                2) Snapshot

                Exact configuration states are captured daily and converted into versioned, deployable definitions. Each snapshot represents a deterministic recovery point.

                3) Recover

                When incidents occur, teams can restore specific routing tables, DNS zones, firewall rules, or full network environments – manually or automatically.

                4) Review & Govern

                Executives and DevOps leaders gain a single view of DR readiness across cloud, SaaS, identity, and network control planes.

                With ControlMonkey, network resilience becomes measurable.

it work - Network DR
                End to End Network Config Protaction

                Why This Matters? Network Configuration Disaster Recovery

                Most cloud disaster recovery strategies stop at data backup. But when routing policies change or DNS records are deleted:

                • Teams don’t know exactly what existed
                • Recovery depends on tribal knowledge
                • Manual rebuilds extend RTO and RPO
                • Applications remain unreachable despite healthy infrastructure

                Customer Perspective

                As a SaaS platform, our availability depends heavily on Cloudflare and our network configuration. Traditional backup solutions didn’t address how we would recover routing policies or edge configurations in the event of an incident. ControlMonkey gives us confidence that our Cloudflare configurations are backed up and recoverable.

                Stay Ahead with Control-Plane Disaster Recovery

                If you or your team back up your data, don’t leave your network configuration exposed. Your Disaster recovery plan is not complete until you can answer:
                What is our RTO and RPO for network  configuration?

                With ControlMonkey Network Disaster Recovery you can:

                • Gain measurable visibility into cloud, SaaS, identity, and network DR readiness
                • Eliminate configuration blind spots across routing, DNS, and edge layers
                • Reduce outage risk caused by misconfiguration and manual rebuilds
                • Improve RTO and RPO confidence with deterministic, versioned recovery points
                • Ensure reachability – not just data recovery  during incidents

                  Entra ID Backup & Disaster Recovery

                  Microsoft Entra ID configurations are too critical to leave not backup or unversioned. With ControlMonkey’s new Entra ID support, your identity layer now receives structured backup, visibility, and recovery coverage – just like your data and cloud infrastructure.

                  Why Backup and Govern Your Entra ID?

                  Entra ID defines who can access production systems, cloud resources, and business applications. Yet many identity changes still happen manually – without versioning, drift visibility, or rollback capabilities.

                  Backing up and governing Entra ID ensures:

                  • Configuration Cyber Resilience – Recover users, roles, groups, and policies after mistakes or incidents.
                  • Change Visibility – Track and review identity configuration changes over time.
                  • Drift Detection – Identify manual changes that bypass Infrastructure as Code.
                  • Audit Readiness and guardrails  – Have a clear RTO/RPO number for your Idindy layer.  Apply the same compliance guardrails across identity and infrastructure.

                  Introducing Support for Cyber Resilience

                  ControlMonkey now supports Microsoft Entra ID backup and recovery.
                  With this release, teams gain:

                  • Entra ID Visibility Inventory – Full visibility into users configuration, groups, roles polices, enterprise applications, and policies.
                  • IaC Blind Spot Detection – See which Entra ID resources are IaC-managed and which are not.
                  • Daily Entra ID Backup Snapshots – Automated configuration backups.
                  • Disaster Recovery Time Machine – Restore Entra ID to a previous known-good state 
                  • Import to IaC – Bring unmanaged identity resources under IaC control.

                  Daily configuration versioning allows teams to investigate access history, recover from misconfigurations, and ensure compliance without manual reconstruction.

                    Marketing Director

                    Introducing Azure Bicep Support

                    Azure teams often rely on Bicep alongside Terraform for managing their infrastructure with code, and without unified visibility, recovery gaps go unnoticed until it’s too late.

                    ControlMonkey now supports Azure Bicep as part of its IaC coverage model, extending visibility and disaster recovery awareness to Azure-native infrastructure.

                    This capability is available to all ControlMonkey customers starting today.

                    Key benefits Azure Bicep Backup & Visibility:

                    • Full visibility into Azure resources managed by Bicep
                    • Clear separation between codified and non-codified infrastructure
                    • Improved disaster recovery readiness for Azure-native stacks
                    • Reduced blind spots during ransomware or cyber incidents
                    • IaC visibility and recovery coverage across Terraform, CloudFormation, and Bicep

                    Cloud Infrastructure with Full IaC Visibility

                    Codified infrastructure can be restored after configuration loss or compromise. Unmanaged resources lack a reliable recovery path.

                    By including Azure Bicep in its IaC coverage, ControlMonkey helps teams:

                    • Understand recovery readiness across Azure environments
                    • Identify hidden DR risks caused by non-codified resources
                    • Strengthen cloud governance without forcing tool migrations
                    • Plan incident response with confidence during cyber or ransomware event.

                    This helps teams understand recovery readiness in environments that use multiple IaC frameworks.

                      FQA about Azure Bicep and Controlmonkey

                      Resources managed by Bicep are codified and can be rebuilt. ControlMonkey helps teams identify which resources fall into that category and which do not.

                      No. Azure Bicep support is limited to visibility and disaster recovery awareness. Terraform automation remains unchanged.

                      Yes. Like CloudFormation, Bicep is included for visibility and disaster recovery coverage, not automation.
