CISSP Essentials training: Domain 7, Business Continuity

Date: Mar 27, 2009
Business continuity planning can be the item that determines life or death of a company. Today, approximately 65% of companies could not stay in business if they had to be closed for a week or longer. It's estimated that less than 5% of companies are truly prepared to endure and survive a disaster. These numbers have been improving since September 11, 2001, which caused many corporations to take business continuity and disaster recovery more seriously.

In this CISSP Essentials Security School lesson video, Domain 7, Business Continuity, expert CISSP exam trainer Shon Harris details how disaster recovery processes make it possible to survive a disaster and respond effectively immediately following a disaster event. These plans are usually technology-oriented and focus on getting the network and systems up and running as quickly as possible. More and more companies are developing business continuity into their environment because of the raised awareness of tragic possibilities, but also because of new regulatory requirements that infer executive management obligations for fiscal responsibility.
