Real Resiliency: What is it and how do we build it
Sponsored by Kyndryl
Too many companies find that when they try to recover from an incident their “failover plan” fails. More and more we are learning that our best plans for protection of systems and even data are not enough to guarantee what we really need - speedy recovery from an incident. While we do need strong protection and processes, we really need to understand how to build an organization that can recover quickly.
