Understanding Incident Response, Planning and Cyber Insurance
In less than one year, we’ve seen whole cities taken out by ransomware with no business continuity or disaster recovery plan in place to bring themselves back up- but it’s not just cities that don’t have a plan for when a catastrophe (digital or physical) hits.
Having a plan to restore business operations will save time, money, and stress, but that’s half the equation. The other half is to practice the plan, make sure all the moving pieces fit together and make sure everything is practical and timely.
