Question

How does the Business Continuity Framework align with digital transformation initiatives?

The Business Continuity Framework aligns with digital transformation initiatives in several ways. Firstly, it ensures that digital processes are resilient and can continue to function in the face of disruptions. This is achieved through risk management, impact assessment, and recovery strategies. Secondly, it promotes the use of modern, updated software and systems, which is a key aspect of digital transformation. Lastly, it discourages ad hoc and undocumented processes, encouraging instead a culture of documentation and standardization, which is crucial for successful digital transformation.

This question was asked on:

The Atlanta ransomware attack is a bitter lesson in inadequate business continuity planning, Invenio IT states, as it uncovered the fact that the city's IT was completely unprepared for the disaster. According to "StateScoop," two months prior to the attack, an audit found 1,500 to 2,000 vulnerabilities in the city's IT systems, which were compounded by "obsolete software and an IT culture driven by 'ad hoc or undocumented' processes."
