This may sound a little daunting, but disaster recovery also covers small faults that cause outages, such as power failures or electronic component malfunctions. However, keep in mind that it can also result from an external and less pleasant source, such as natural disasters – fire, earthquake, gas explosion, lightning strike, accident, missile, bomb, tornado, tsunami and more. It can also result from a human source – virus infiltration, theft, robbery, deliberate sabotage, human error and more.

An organization or business without a real-time solution may experience, as a result of an external or internal disaster, an outage of its IT systems for an undefined period and costly recovery work, and in the worst case the collapse of the business, if it is a business based mainly on online services, or various sales, investment and payment sites.

We learn that in the era we live in today, every organization, even one that is not technological in nature, depends on its various IT systems to run the business and its processes correctly, smoothly and properly. At the same time, we see a wide range of cases in which organizations suffer from disruptions and cyber attacks that significantly harm business processes and various systems. These disruptions and attacks can affect our working day and may even cause you irreversible damage that will be hard to recover from in the long term. We believe you have quite a few questions about disaster recovery – that is exactly why the professionals at DNS Cloud are here for you.

Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)

You have probably heard many times about a “Disaster Recovery” plan (DRP - Disaster Recovery Plan), yet you are not sure exactly what it means. This is a dedicated plan whose purpose is to provide a fast, high-quality and effective response to various events that disrupt and/or cause failures in the business's information systems.

Through this plan we can reduce the extent of the damage and quickly get business IT processes back up and running. As part of the disaster recovery plan, we back up all the data and information in the system, analyze threats, prioritize critical systems, and build a work plan alongside an organized recovery strategy.

When should we turn to a company for disaster recovery?

Disaster recovery is work carried out by professionals who specialize in the field, and it may be required as a result of a wide range of events – cyber attacks, malicious sabotage by an employee and/or competitor, failures in various IT systems, communication problems, unwanted power outages, and sometimes also force majeure events (including fires, floods and other situations).

In such cases we will want to turn to a company specializing in the field that will help us restore the organization's systems to their previous state.
