Every organization faces the possibility of major and minor disruptions of all kinds, from planned events such as IT maintenance and office relocations, to looming emergencies such as hurricanes, snow storms and epidemics, to unplanned events that strike completely without warning, such as earthquakes, tornadoes, and fires. Even relatively small incidents like a water or power outage, commute delays, and the seasonal flu can have a major impact.

Traditional Business Continuity Planning
While business continuity planning has traditionally focused on planning failover and high availability of mission-critical business systems, this is only part of the picture. To keep the business up and running, organizations must take a more comprehensive approach encompassing both organizational measures and technologies to minimize disruption, maintain security, and support uninterrupted productivity for users and teams.

Current Best Practices
Best practices for a complete business continuity strategy should address business continuity team structure, business continuity planning, disaster recovery, business continuity testing, crisis communications, and finally employee safety and awareness programs.

A Secure Digital Worskpace
Providing users with the experience they need, a secure digital workspace can grant seamless access to business apps and data on any device, over any network, hosted on-premises or in a public cloud.
