Tales of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning

Planning for Disaster

As we think about the enormous cleanup effort taking place in the wake of

Harvey, Irma, and Maria, we are reminded of the importance of planning to keep your business up and running when disaster strikes.  In this blog post I share the thoughts of an expert in the field of Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery.

I recently had an interesting and fun conversation with Bob Cohen,  Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Practice Director at Pivot Point Security, about some key aspects of Business Continuity Planning and some cautionary tales about the risks of not doing so.
