Operational Resilience: More Than Disaster Recovery
Security Boulevard, December 7th, 2022
To contend with the explosion of cybercrime and its impact on business operations, many organizations are updating their disaster recovery plans to include cyber incident response.
Many of the processes and guidelines in traditional disaster recovery plans have changed little in years, sometimes even in over a decade-making them ill-suited to address cyber disasters. More important, at a business level, disaster recovery is just one aspect of a larger discipline: operational resilience.
Simon Hodgkinson, former Chief Information Security Officer at bp and Strategic Advisor for Semperis, emphasizes the need for organizations to view disaster recovery in the context of the overall viability of the business-including cyberattack prevention, detection, and response.
