Episode 43: Disaster Recovery Strategy Essentials

Disaster recovery (DR) is the technical counterpart to business continuity—and this episode explores how CISOs ensure the restoration of systems, services, and data after catastrophic disruptions. You’ll learn about the core elements of DR planning, including backup strategies, failover procedures, DR site selection, data replication models, and system recovery sequencing. We explain how DR plans are tested, validated, and maintained over time to ensure readiness in real-world conditions.

Just as important is the leadership role a CISO plays in defining DR policy, securing budget for recovery infrastructure, and aligning recovery goals with business risk appetite. The CCISO exam includes scenarios that blend DR, continuity, and crisis communication into a single narrative. This episode prepares you to make informed executive decisions about recovery priorities, tradeoffs, and resource allocation—ensuring you can guide your organization from chaos to stability with a structured and strategic approach.
