January is traditionally a time to take stock and plan for the upcoming year. In 2018, disaster recovery plans remained a key focus for businesses, as the news was filled with stories of disruptions from both natural disasters and cyberattacks. Looking to provide a roundup of key lessons learned, Erin Sullivan, site editor for Tech Target, has assembled a list of topics and events to consider as you review your own company’s planning. Among the topics revisited in the wrap-up are:
- The execution of business continuity and disaster recovery plans, in the context of the California wildfires and the Atlanta airport outage
- Consideration of what to do in the event your disaster recovery plans fail, for both improving the future effectiveness of the plan, and mitigating immediate damage
- Establishing and updating data recovery procedures and techniques, including confirming the integrity of recovered data
- Reviewing key steps required to assist and guide IT in building a robust disaster recovery plan.
