Business continuity requires a holistic approach to resilience - IT-Online

A massive 86% of EMEA businesses have a protection gap between how much data they can afford to lose after an outage and how frequently data is backed up, and 84% plan to increase their data protection budgets this yearThis is according to the Veeam Data Protection Trends Report 2022, which points to a broader concern around cyber resilience and businesses being able to recover effectively and ensure continuity in the event of a disaster.

The term disaster can mean the unplanned disruption of normal business processes resulting from the interruption of the IT infrastructure components used to support them. If one takes this definition, then this can include virtually anything from fire or explosion in a data centre, to flooding, damage caused by ground instability, even cyberattacks. Perceptions around disasters must therefore change and expand if local companies are to effectively protect themselves and ensure resilience.

The pandemic has been another example of a disaster. At the time, it was seen to be a black swan event, but similar disasters will likely occur more frequently in the future. The question is, have local companies learnt from what happened over the past few years and incorporated the human aspect into their cyber resilience plans? Only time will tell.The secret to a successful cyber resilience plan is applying forward thinking around disasters – both traditional and otherwise.

Ideally, business leaders would say that they want to protect and back up everything all the time, but in reality, it comes down to knowing what is mission-critical and what isn’t. In the event of an outage or attack what are the things that need to be recovered in order to get back up and running as quickly as possible with minimal operational disruption?
