Real Recovery Scenarios

These situations happen more often than you'd think. See how Butterfly Security turns hours of manual work into minutes of automated recovery.

Disaster Recovery

Recover from accidental deletions and misconfigurations

The Problem:

A group with 500 members gets deleted. User assignments to 20 applications are gone. Without backups, you're looking at hours of manual recreation—if you even know what was there.

The Solution:

With Butterfly Security, restore the group and all its assignments in minutes. Our dry-run preview shows exactly what will be restored before making any changes.

Compliance Audits

Answer auditor questions with complete change history

The Problem:

"What changed in the last 90 days?" Auditors need to see your configuration history, policy changes, and who made them. Without backups, this information is scattered or lost.

The Solution:

Daily backups provide complete change history. Use our diff tool to show exactly what changed, when, and compare any two points in time. Export reports for SOC2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

Sandbox Synchronization

Keep dev/test environments in sync with production

The Problem:

Your developers need a test environment that mirrors production. Manually recreating configuration is tedious and error-prone. Environments drift apart over time.

The Solution:

Export your production backup and understand the differences with your test environment. Plan synchronization with our comparison tools before making changes.

Security Incident Response

Identify and remediate unauthorized changes

The Problem:

A compromised admin account creates rogue applications and modifies policies. You need to identify every change they made and restore the previous state.

The Solution:

Drift detection alerts you to unexpected changes. Compare current state to any backup to identify all modifications. Restore clean configuration with confidence.

Workflow Disaster

Recover deleted or broken automation workflows

The Problem:

Someone accidentally deletes a critical workflow folder. Okta Workflows and similar automation platforms have no native backup or version history. Your automation is gone.

The Solution:

Butterfly Security captures complete Workflows state—flows, folders, tables, and connectors. Restore your automation exactly as it was.

Infrastructure as Code

Version control your identity configuration

The Problem:

Your team wants to manage identity infrastructure like code—version controlled, reviewed, and deployed through CI/CD. But converting existing config to Terraform is a massive undertaking.

The Solution:

Export your backup as Terraform HCL. Push to Git for version control. Integrate with your existing IaC workflows.

Shadow AI Detection

Find unauthorized AI agents in your organization

The Problem:

Employees are spinning up AI agents connected to your identity infrastructure — Claude bots, GPT integrations, Copilot services — without IT approval. You have no visibility into what they can access.

The Solution:

Butterfly discovers every AI agent connected to your providers — Okta, Entra ID, Auth0, Ping Identity, 1Password, Workato, Boomi & Zapier. Identify shadow AI, assess risk levels, and enforce governance policies before they become a liability.

Agent Credential Compromise

Respond to leaked or compromised AI agent credentials

The Problem:

An API key used by an AI agent is exposed in a public repository. The agent has broad access to your identity infrastructure. You need to identify all affected agents and rotate credentials immediately.

The Solution:

Butterfly tracks every credential used by every agent. One-click rotation, expiry monitoring, and full audit trail. Know exactly which agents are affected and remediate instantly.

AI Agent Policy Violation

An autonomous agent exceeds its authorized permissions

The Problem:

An AI agent starts accessing resources outside its defined scope — accessing PII data, hitting admin endpoints, or operating outside business hours. Without monitoring, this goes undetected.

The Solution:

Define policies with Butterfly: access controls, data boundaries, rate limits, and time-bound access. Get real-time alerts on violations and auto-shutdown agents that exceed thresholds.

Cross-Provider Identity Drift

The same person has conflicting permissions across providers

The Problem:

Sarah is an admin in Okta but a regular user in Entra ID. Her Auth0 account is still active 6 months after she moved teams. Without a unified view, these inconsistencies go unnoticed and create security gaps.

The Solution:

The Unified Identity Graph correlates identities across all 8 providers by email. It automatically detects orphaned accounts, status conflicts, role mismatches, and name inconsistencies — giving you a single pane of glass for every identity.

Identity Disaster Preparedness

An admin accidentally deletes a critical group affecting 200 users

The Problem:

Someone deletes the 'Engineering' group that controls access to 15 applications and 200 users. Without knowing the blast radius ahead of time, recovery is chaotic and takes hours.

The Solution:

IAM Chaos Engineering lets you simulate disasters before they happen. Run a 'Group Deletion' simulation to see the exact blast radius — which users lose access, which apps break, and what cascade effects propagate. Build resilience by understanding your weakest points.

Automation Platform Recovery

A team lead accidentally deletes a critical Workato recipe connecting 4 production systems

The Problem:

Your 'Salesforce to SAP Order Sync' recipe gets deleted or misconfigured. Orders stop flowing, revenue reporting breaks, and nobody remembers the exact field mappings. Rebuilding from scratch takes days.

The Solution:

Butterfly backs up every recipe, connection, lookup table, and configuration across Workato, Boomi, and Zapier. When an automation breaks, restore the exact recipe code, connection metadata, and lookup table data in minutes instead of days.
