Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Planning for IT Professionalsby Susan Snedaker
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Increase Your Company’s Odds of Surviving a Major Disaster
Powerful Earthquake Triggers Tsunami in Pacific. Hurricane Katrina Makes Landfall in the Gulf Coast. Avalanche Buries Highway in Denver. Tornado Touches Down in Georgia… These headlines not only have caught the attention of people around the world, they have had a significant effect on IT professionals as well. As technology continues to become more integral to corporate operations at every level of the organization, the job of IT has expanded to become almost all-encompassing. These days, it’s difficult to find corners of a company that technology does not touch. As a result, the need to plan for potential disruptions to technology services has increased exponentially. Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) are emerging as the ‘next big thing’ in corporate IT circles. With distributed networks, increasing demands for confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, and the widespread risks to the security of personal, confidential and sensitive data, no organization can afford to ignore the need for disaster planning. The British Standards Institute is releasing a new standard for BCP this year, the Disaster Recovery Institute has developed a certification for DRP/BCP professionals in conjunction with the British Standards Institute, trade shows are popping up on this topic and the news is filled with companies facing disasters from all sides. In this book you will find: * Complete coverage of the 3 categories of disaster: natural hazards, human-caused hazards, and accidental/ technical hazards. * Updated information on risks from cyber attacks, rioting, protests, product tampering, bombs, explosions, and terrorism. * Extensive disaster planning and readiness checklists for IT infrastructure, enterprise applications, servers and desktops. * Clear guidance on developing alternate work and computing sites and emergency facilities. * Actionable advice on emergency readiness and response. * Up-to-date information on the legal implications of data loss following a security breach or disaster. Featuring Case Studies from: Deanna Conn, Partner, Quarles & Brady, LLP, information security expert Debbie Earnest, Disaster Recovery and IT expert Patty Hoenig, Communications and PR expert * Complete coverage of the 3 categories of disaster: natural hazards, human-caused hazards, and accidental and technical hazards. * Only published source of information on the new BCI standards and government requirements. * Up dated information on recovery from cyber attacks, rioting, protests, product tampering, bombs, explosions, and terrorism.
