Mitigation for Continuity and Disasters
Extremely fast recovery is expensive, so it is important to
maintain a balance between affordability and desired perfection.
These decisions should never lie within the technology area but
in the functional departments of an organization.
When considering an organization’s requirements, review best
practices regarding threats to continued operations from all
sources. Consider all the critical infrastructures, even
employees’ daily requirements. For example, what would be the
outcome of an Ebola outbreak or a hurricane that destroys
power stations across a significant area?
Figure 9. Common Grouping of Dependencies
The request for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery from
an organization is likely to be an iterative process, as it seeks
instant resolution for all items. This week, you consider how to
mitigate the risks and that would allow you to establish costs.
An organization is likely to alter its request once specific costs
and implications are updated for the original requests.
To establish costs, you need to consider how you might
overcome significant problems. This course emphasizes the
solutions that exist within information technology. What
solutions might you elect to overcome the various risks? Could
there be ice storms? What is implied? You would ask the same
questions regarding other events caused by nature, or any other
source. A common response would be to build an infrastructure
that could restore operations. These could be centralized and
decentralized. You might need to backup user data from user
computers, and some of these might be located elsewhere. You
also need to consider data volumes and how you can move them
around, including cloud options. How can you restore an
exabyte of data (consider that it is likely to take years for so
much data to be restored)? A few years ago, Amazon offers a
service that would allow you to transfer an exabyte in much less
than 20 years (Amazon Web Services, 2016). There are many
organizations that have a lot more than an exabyte of data.
The assignment for this week requires you to consider potential
technical solutions, approaches such as centralized and
decentralized options, and the need to define the extent of
continuity and recovery. Do you have multiple locations? Would
you need to include workstations? Is there a distributed system
that includes third parties like public cloud computing? Is there
an international element in terms of offices, processing, or
storage?
Review the weekly resources (and previously provided resources,
as needed) to prepare for this week’s assignments. The
resources may include textbook reading assignments, journal
articles, websites, links to tools or software, videos, handouts,
rubrics, etc.

Instructions
For this assignment, you must write a short report describing the mitigation options for issues
relating to continuity and recovery. Your report should be written to share important insights
with key personnel before meeting to discuss the options. You may fabricate specific
organizational details.
Your technical report should:
1. Include a title page with the name of the organization and a brief introduction stating
the objective.
2. Explain how you would provide key infrastructure that would be relevant to all items.
Among others, include centralized and decentralized solutions, all application data,
user data, and how you should recover the data.
3. Identify the key systems that will allow your selected organization to operate and how
you might achieve the current required protection and restoration. Consider using a
table or a series of numbered bullets, each containing a few short sentences to provide
the detail.
4. Provide a brief conclusion.
Length: 7page technical paper
References: Cite a minimum of 5 recent resources
The completed assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and
concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to
this topic. The content should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards
