Summary:
"Powerful Earthquake Triggers Tsunami in Pacific. Hurricane Katrina Makes Landfall in the Gulf Coast. Avalanche Buries Highway in Denver. Tornado Touches Down in Georgia. These headlines not only have caught the attention of people around the world, they have had a significant effect on IT professionals as well." "As technology continues to become more integral to corporate operations at every level of the organization, the job of IT has expanded to become almost all-encompassing. These days, it's difficult to find corners of a company that technology does not touch. As a result, the need to plan for potential disruptions to technology services has increased exponentially." "Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Planning (ORP) are emerging as the 'next big thing' in corporate IT circles. With distributed networks, increasing demands for confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, and the widespread risks to the security of personal, confidential and sensitive data, no organization can afford to ignore the need for disaster planning." "The British Standards Institute is releasing a new standard for BCP this year, the Disaster Recovery Institute has developed a certification for DRP/BCP professionals in conjunction with the British Standards Institute, trade shows are popping up on this topic and the news is filled with companies facing disasters from all sides."--BOOK JACKET.
