    New Survey Reports Majority Employees Cannot Work Remotely During a Crisis

    In a recent survey commissioned by Cisco and conducted by InsightExpress, concerns were validated regarding the state of U.S. organizations’, both public and private, ability to continue operations if major business interruptions occurred.

    Of the many interesting observations revealed in the survey, one that remains troubling for the business contiuity community, is that business continuity and resilience were not the main drivers for implementing remote access for workers.

    You can read more about this topic in an article that was written by Matthew Harwood, who presents and  discusses other findings from the survey and was recently cited in a posting in the Security Management magazine by clicking here.

    Business Continuity: More Than an Insurance Plan for Disaster Recovery

    Business Continuity Planning and those related Information Security Projects for most organizations have often been strategies and activities executed as a kind of an insurance policy to cover potential disasters that might happen to that organization.  By having a business continuity strategy or plan in place, management aims to provide mitigation and hopefully, even prevention, of  those problems – both internal and external —  affecting the business in a negative way. 

    In an article written by Ian Masters,  and recently posted on the IT BusinessEdge blog, a point is made that looking forward, organizations are demanding more from their business continuity investments.  In other words, business continuity planning efforts along with business continuity software investments must have an additional ROI now presented to management — it is no longer enough to be simply an insurance policy against something going wrong.

    Read this article for more information about this growing business continuity requirement trend.
