Implementing a Successful Business Continuity Program

Security professionals are tasked with the protection of assets in a world of rapidly evolving risks. As a result, business continuity has become an imperative for security professionals.

Participate in a discussion that seeks to bring a bit of clarity to the successful implementation of the concept using an industry case study as well as best practices.

A business continuity plan (BCP) ensures that an organization can overcome serious incidents or disasters and resume its normal operations within a reasonable amount of time. Discuss the development of BCPs and learn how to conduct BCP drills and exercises.
