Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity training will help you put your organization in the best situation to handle whatever challenges come its way.

IT Disaster Recovery is the ability of a company to respond to a disaster or an interruption in services by implementing a disaster recovery plan to stabilize and restore the organization’s critical functions.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Training helps you understand a variety of topics in disaster recovery and business continuity such as: introduction to disaster recovery, concept of disasters, introduction to business continuity, disaster recovery processing plans, risk management techniques, facility protection during disaster recovery period, data/system recovery, incident response and public service effect in disaster recovery plan.

Our training provides a detailed analysis of the most important concepts to grasp.

IT disaster recovery entails data recovery, disaster recovery process, business continuity, and contingency planning. It also focuses on the concept of Business Continuity planning that helps to provide security and resilience to the organization.

Employees need to know the plan effectively well before any disaster hits. Not only does an effective plan need to be put in place, but it also needs to be tested and analyzed with the critical players concerned before the actual emergency happens.

There needs to be a logical framework in place that promotes constant improvement via frequent action review.

It needs to be proactive with the goal of demanding high performance from the key players involved.

During disaster recovery, every moment is critical.

By taking the Strategic Axis disaster recovery and business continuity training, you will understand the central concept of disaster terminologies, nature of disasters, classification of disasters, natural and human-made disasters, and managing emergencies.
