Overview:
Business Continuity Management (BCM) is a holistic management process that identifies potential impacts that threaten an Organization and provides a framework for building resilience with the capability for an effective response that safeguards the interests of its key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value creating activities. This encompasses the management of recovery or continuity in the event of a disaster as well as the management of the overall program through training, rehearsals, and reviews, to ensure the plan stays current and up to date.
The Business Continuity Management Process combines 6 key elements:
-
Understanding Your Business

The Business Continuity Management Program is an ongoing management and governance processes supported by senior management and resourced to ensure that the necessary steps are taken to identify the impact of potential losses, maintain viable recovery strategies and plans, and ensure continuity of products/services through exercising, rehearsal, testing, training, maintenance and assurance.
Why should you attend: In today's world, information security and business continuity planning cannot be completed without each other. According to a recent article in e Week News, U.S. lawmakers are contemplating new enforcement tools and financial incentives to spur better security practices after a report card on federal information security showed government CIOs managed a barely passing D+ average. "I think they take their eye off the ball," said Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., chairman of the House Committee on Government Reform. "This demands constant attention. Every day they have to be thinking about this."
