Carrying On with Continuity of Operations
More than 80 percent of the federal systems
count on private sector critical
infrastructure to work.
Should one of the telecommunications,
electricity or other providers be hacked or go
down from a natural disaster, agency mission
would be in peril.
Just take last summer's Derecho that impacted
the Washington DC area. One agency lost their
connection to the Internet for some time
because of the storm even though their
infrastructure was in the cloud.
Over the past decade or more, agencies have
applied the lessons learned from the
assortment of man-made and natural disasters
that have impacted their services to keep
their services running as smoothly as
possible.
But with the emergence of cloud computing,
virtualization, mobile computing and other
technologies, what should agencies keep in
mind to ensure the continuity of operations?
How is the idea of COOP and disaster recovery
changing?
The panel, Carrying on with Continuity of
Operations, will look at how agencies have
implemented COOP and disaster recovery over
the past decade and where they need to go
next.
