FOCUS

It is imperative for all of us to prepare for the worst, but for many the business needs and challenges of today frequently get in the way.    As a result, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity preparedness is frequently a can that gets kicked down the road.   With the threats being faced today, that’s no longer acceptable.

The business continuity and disaster recovery plans of a decade ago may not meet the escalating challenges of today.  With an ever-increasing reliance on IT infrastructure and connectivity to run our businesses, a “Storm of the Century” happening every couple of years, and continuing reports of new threats, organizations are taking a fresh look at their ability to survive and thrive in adverse circumstances.  Specifically, many enterprises are re-calculating their disaster recovery deployments and business continuity plans.

Join us to learn about the latest technologies and solutions to keep your business up and running in the face of what appear to be increasing threats and higher stakes.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

The event will feature a keynote address on “Assessing Your Organizational IT Risk Profile” from George Giangi, Chairman of the Business, Industry & Infrastructure Subcommittee for the South Central PA Counterterrorism Task Force. George is a consultant with over 30 years of experience in the field of emergency management, business continuity planning, security, counter-terrorism, critical infrastructure protection, workplace violence prevention, response to armed assailant incidents, and facility vulnerability assessments.

This session will address methods to evaluate the level of risk an organization may encounter for cyber incidents. This will allow the organization to better focus their time and money on those cyber vulnerabilities with higher risk scores. This process will identify the true impact that losses of IT systems will have on other departments. It will also provide a more logical and defensible justification for IT programs and budgets in the future.
