DISASTER RECOVERY

Having a system that is remotely position and separate from your main area of operations that can take the place of your main facility can be costly.  However this is a must for some businesses that must remain operational 24/7.  During a catastrophic event, security professionals must plan for the unwanted event, whether it is a natural disaster or man-made crisis.  Consider the following salient points from the readings and lecture material.

ENCRYPTION
