Disaster Recovery: Why Your “Plan B” Needs a Backup Plan (And Pizza Won’t Save You)
Disaster recovery isn’t just about buying pizza and hoping for the best. It’s about knowing your network like the back of your hand, practicing until your brain is on autopilot, and having backups that aren’t just dusty paperweights. After all, finding out your parachute doesn’t work is a learning moment, not a failure.
Hot Take:
In the world of disaster recovery, we’ve come a long way from the days of pizza-fueled Saturday night testing marathons. But let’s face it, in the grand scheme of things, if you’re still relying on a ‘Chaos Kong’ to simulate your worst-case scenarios, you might as well be playing ‘Jumanji’ with your network. Seriously, folks, it’s time to up our game before the next cyber-gorilla takes down your digital jungle.
Key Points:
- Incident response plans need constant updates and real-world testing, not just theoretical discussions.
- Chaos testing tools like Netflix’s Simian Army help prepare for unexpected network failures.
- Automation and scripting are crucial for timely disaster response.
- Network visibility and mapping are key to effective threat detection and response.
- Regular testing and verification of backups are essential to avoid data loss during incidents.
