The Central Maryland Chapter of the Association of Continuity Professionals would like to invite you to our September 11 meeting in Columbia.
This month, we’ll be talking about the Cloud! Here’s a synopsis:
Incident Management for Cloud Operations
Chris Hawley
Are you satisfied with the way your company responds to IT incidents? How prepared is your response team to handle critical, time-sensitive events such as service disruptions and security breaches? IT professionals looking for effective response models have successfully adopted the Incident Management System (IMS) used by firefighters throughout the US. This presentation will show you how to apply the same response methodology to your own IT operation.
Exercising the Cloud: Evaluating Disaster Recovery Capabilities in a High-Availability World
Erin Valentine
As more and more organizations begin to depend on cloud capabilities, continuity professionals are quickly adjusting their definitions of DR, including critical recovery metrics, plans, and exercises. Erin will discuss her lessons learned and best practices after moving from tape-based to cloud-based DR as well as the intricacies of conducting DR exercises in high-availability environments.
