BUSINESS CONTINUITY, DISASTER RECOVERY PLANNING & LEADERSHIP 14 - 17 DECEMBER 2014 RADISSON BLU DUBAI DEIRA CREEK UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
IT SERIES
COURSE OVERVIEW Disasters could cripple your organization, suspending mission-critical processes and disrupting service to your customers. These disasters could be man-made or natural in nature. The Business Continuity Plan addresses an organization’s ability to continue functioning when normal operations are disrupted. A Disaster Recovery Plan is used to define the resources, action, tasks, and data required to manage the business recovery process in the event of a disaster. In this workshop you learn to identify vulnerabilities and implement appropriate countermeasures to prevent and mitigate threats to your mission-critical processes. You will learn techniques for creating a business continuity plan (BCP) and the methodology for building an infrastructure that supports its effective implementation.
BENEFITS OF ATTENDING Using a carefully selected case study, course participants will:
• Create, document and test continuity arrangements for an organization • Perform a risk assessment and Business Impact Assessment (BIA) to identify vulnerabilities
• Select and deploy an alternate site for continuity of mission-critical activities • Identify appropriate strategies to recover the infrastructure and processes • Organize and manage recovery teams • Test and maintain an effective recovery plan in a rapidly changing technology environment
Sample Case Studies:
• A major Middle Eastern bank has been experiencing tremendous growth and management feels that their current BCP and DRP plans outdated.
