Ensuring Resilience Disaster Recovery and Continuity Essentials
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
No organisation can afford to ignore the importance of disaster recovery and business continuity. Disruptions caused by natural disasters, cyberattacks, operational failures, or global crises can have a devastating impact on business performance, reputation, and long-term survival.
