Disaster Recovery

Disaster Recovery refers to the strategies and processes implemented to restore and protect an organization’s critical IT infrastructure and operations after a disruptive event, such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or technical failures. The goal of disaster recovery is to minimize downtime and data loss, enabling the rapid restoration of services and preservation of business continuity.

This involves the creation of a disaster recovery plan, which typically includes data backup solutions, recovery procedures, communication strategies, and designated roles for personnel during a crisis. The plan may cover various scenarios and outline steps for recovery, such as restoring systems from backups, relocating operations to alternate sites, and ensuring that all necessary resources are available to resume normal functions.

Disaster recovery is an essential component of an organization’s overall business continuity plan, ensuring that critical services can be quickly resumed and that the organization can withstand and recover from potentially damaging events.
