Save Money and Plan BEFORE a Disaster Strikes

Interface OKC  

2019-04-18

Millions of dollars are spent to build, furnish and staff a data center or IT-enabled facility, but how much is spent to protect it? Disaster Recovery usually only receives the funding it needs after an incident. However, there are many systems and services you can employ to inexpensively prepare for the inevitable which will also help you begin discussions for improving preparedness. Your organization can drastically improve physical security and disaster readiness. Daniel Hanttula is President of InfraGard Oklahoma, a former member of the MS-ISAC Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and Cyber Exercise Workgroup, and the reason Oklahoma was included in CyberStorm V, the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) biennial exercise series. He will discuss how to put the spotlight back on your BCP-DR program to help gain funding and awareness for your program – no matter what condition your DR program is currently in.

You need to consider these characteristics when determining how to protect your data and the child.”

The Internet is an amazing place that allows children to meet and interact with people from around the world, but it also provides the bad guys new ways into your home that was heretofore unavailable. And, remember, that keeping your computer network at home secure is essential for your job as well, since hackers could use it to gain access to your work systems.
