Risk Mitigation Strategy Development

Abstract

Risk management strategies for business continuity and disaster recovery planning require a review of the risks and plans for addressing, or mitigating, each of those risks to an acceptable level. In some cases, risks are accepted as is; in other cases, risks are transferred, and in still other cases, risks are minimized to a level acceptable to the organization. One of the fundamental tasks in managing IT risk for BC/DR planning focuses on backup and recovery strategies to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data in both the production environment and the DR location.
