Spanning, Thursday, June 8,2023
Disasters, such as cyberthreats, data loss and downtime, are inevitable in business. How your organization handles them can be the difference between overcoming a crisis quickly and grappling with unsatisfied clients, lost productivity, tarnished brand reputation, and legal and regulatory issues.
To mitigate the negative impacts of a disaster on critical business functions, your organization must implement a comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) plan that aligns with business objectives and provides a clear outline for the backup and recovery of any impacted systems along with their respective recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs). RPOs and RTOs are critical parameters to analyze the consequences of downtime on business and determine viable approaches to add to a DR and business continuity plan. Read on to get to know everything about RTOs and RPOs, their differences and their role in DR and business continuity.
