Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning for IT Professionals (Paperback)

Description

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, its 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.

That is what Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is: a methodology used to create a plan for how an organization will recover after a disaster of various types. It takes into account both security and corporate risk management tatics.

There is a lot of movement around this initiative in the industry: the British Standards Institute is releasing a new standard for BCP this year. Trade shows are popping up covering the topic.

* 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.

描述

強大的地震引發太平洋海嘯。颶風卡特里娜登陸墨西哥灣沿岸。雪崩掩埋丹佛高速公路。龍捲風在喬治亞州登陸。這些標題不僅引起了全球人民的關注，也對IT專業人士產生了重大影響。

隨著技術在組織的各個層面上變得越來越重要，IT的工作範圍已經擴大到幾乎無所不包。如今，很難找到技術不觸及的公司角落。因此，對技術服務可能發生中斷的潛在風險的規劃需求呈指數級增長。

這就是業務持續性計劃（BCP）的目的：一種用於創建組織在各種災難後恢復的計劃方法。它考慮到安全和企業風險管理策略。

在業界中，這一倡議引起了很大的動蕩：英國標準協會今年將發布一個新的BCP標準。有關此主題的貿易展覽也紛紛出現。

* 完整涵蓋三類災難：自然災害、人為災害和意外和技術災害。
* 是關於新的BCI標準和政府要求的唯一發布信息來源。
* 提供有關從網絡攻擊、騷亂、抗議、產品篡改、炸彈、爆炸和恐怖主義中恢復的最新信息。
