Possible consequences of this

• Interruptions in the supply chain
• Needing to care for large group of people who
  cannot leave the work place
• Not having the workforce available to return to
  work because of displacement of people from their
  homes
• The loss of applications used in critical
  business processes
• Lack of funding after a disaster, which may
  result in longer recovery times

Cyberspace Threats and Vulnerabilities

• 9/11 were physical attacks, whilst we are facing
  increasing threats from hostile adversaries in
  the realm of cyberspace as well
• IT revolution quietly changed the way business
  and government operate
• A network of networks directly supports the
  operation of all sectors of our economy
• The attacks are capable of causing debilitating
  disruption to a nations critical
  infrastructures, economy, or national security

Disaster Recover Planning

• DRP is the process of planning to ensure that the
  business (normally IT focused) recovers from a
  disaster as quickly as possible

Business Continuity Planning

• BCP is pro-actively planning to ensure that
  resilience is built into business processes to
  keep the business going without interruption when
  a disaster hits. It is a combined process of
  business recovery planning and technology
  recovery planning

11
Business Continuity Management

• BCM is the process of developing
  organisation-wide resilience allowing an
  organisation to survive the loss of part or all
  of its operational capability. It also looks at
  surviving significant losses of resources. This
  must be developed from senior management to the
  operational level and across all functional areas

12
Business Process Contingency Planning

• BPCP is planning to protect critical business
  processes from being interrupted by a disaster.
  The plans provide contingency solutions to ensure
  critical business processes are resilient.

  Business Continuity Management

  published by the Business Continuity Institute
  (BCI)
• Intention was to be British Standard (BS25999) at
  the end of 2006 International Standard during
  2007

Backup

• Backups are the most singular important
  phenomenon of Business Continuity and Disaster
  Recovery
• Backup are about creation and the maintenance of
  backup metadata and media management
• Metadata and media management form the heart of
  any data recovery system
• Differential or incremental backup?
• The effect of mirroring and replication
