Answering the questions… What is Business Continuity? Why is it relevant? How to get started? What's in it for me? What technical solutions are there?

#1 Business Continuity is an activity #2 Business Continuity is implemented BEFORE the disaster.

Business Continuity components BCP (Business Continuity Plan) BCM (Business Continuity Methodology) BIA (Business Impact Analysis) TRA (Threat and Risk Analysis) SLA (Service Level Agreements) Change Management

BCP – Business Continuity Plan It all starts with your Business Services Identify them Classify them (BIA) Map out the technology Processes and Routines

TRA – Threat and Risk Analysis Hurricane Power cut Cyber attack Fire Sabotage Flood Earthquake Etc.

BIA – Business Impact Analysis If something happens, how does that impact my business? Urgent vs. non-urgent Create a plan that presents the different scenarios Recovery requirement

“Backup or Restore…that is the question” Traditional backup What is the purpose of your backup Traditional Backup vs. Intelligent Business Continuity

#1 A service-level agreement (SLA) is a part of a standardized service contract where a service is formally defined. #2 Particular aspects of the service – scope, quality, responsibilities – are agreed between the service provider and the service user. ”
