Disaster recovery plans: What keeps you awake at night?

More companies are seeking out 100% availability as a key part of their disaster recovery plan. But delivering such a commitment is a huge feat. Companies would need a service that was able to “To resist and tolerate failure and recover mission critical communication elements within a business acceptable timescale by planning and design” as well as to manage whatever intentional human and natural risks likely to occur. Full availability would also need infrastructure resilience, in-place disaster recovery plans, and contingency capability as well as the establishment of an integrated and external incident command system. The question companies should ask themselves is “How easy would it be to achieve all of this in my organization and, if so, at what cost?’ Tune into this session presented by disaster recovery and cyber resilience expert Steve Yates as he brings to light “scary” technology moments companies must consider and how companies can tackle them if they put in place the right strategy based upon their specific requirements. Viewers are encouraged to share their thoughts on disaster recovery plans and their major concerns to gain the most from this session. By the end of the session, you will be able to: - Be aware of the challenges you may likely encounter. - Form an understanding of the core supporting elements. - Be conversant with a joined-up thinking approach when delivering technology resilience.
