2025DPSS

You will learn what Disaster Recovery (DR) is and how it relates to Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Business Continuity Planning (BCP), and Incident Response (IR). This session will explore how these components work together to minimize downtime, protect critical assets, and ensure operational resilience in the face of disruptions.

A panel of three districts and a RIC will discuss how they use four different cybersecurity solutions to improve their security posture, simplify day-to-day IT management and stay within limited budgets.  We plan to spend roughly ten minutes on each topic... there will be useful tidbits for all security and IT people.
