Planning Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery for Digital Assets by Robin Hastings Pdf

"For the purposes of this book, cloud-based technology will be loosely defined as "server space or application services that are not based in your organization". The essence of the cloud is that no one should care much about where the information and applications used actually live. It's just "out there" somewhere. Of course, for truly comprehensive disaster planning, you do want to know where your data and applications are being stored so that you can choose multiple locations across the country for their storage. If a hurricane hits Florida and all your data was in a server farm in Miami, you might have a problem. Multiple data farms in use in multiple areas of the country keep your data safe - sort of a large-scale LOCKSS (Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) solution. For the most part, though, and for the purposes of this book unless indicated otherwise - cloud-based means not in your building or office space"--

Business Continuity in a Cyber World by David Sutton Pdf

Until recently, if it has been considered at all in the context of business continuity, cyber security may have been thought of in terms of disaster recovery and little else. Recent events have shown that cyber-attacks are now an everyday occurrence, and it is becoming clear that the impact of these can have devastating effects on organizations whether large or small, public or private sector. Cyber security is one aspect of information security, since the impacts or consequences of a cyber-attack will inevitably damage one or more of the three pillars of information security: the confidentiality, integrity or availability of an organization’s information assets. The main difference between information security and cyber security is that while information security deals with all types of information assets, cyber security deals purely with those which are accessible by means of interconnected electronic networks, including the Internet. Many responsible organizations now have robust information security, business continuity and disaster recovery programs in place, and it is not the intention of this book to re-write those, but to inform organizations about the kind of precautions they should take to stave off successful cyber-attacks and how they should deal with them when they arise in order to protect the day-to-day businesses.

DISASTER RECOVERY MANAGEMENT by Prabhu TL Pdf

Imagine a Category 4 storm making landfall, dumping 40 inches of rain on the region and destroying hundreds of houses and businesses. The office of a small business could be entirely inundated. Employees may be unable to work for days, if not weeks, on-site. Utility lines may be down for an extended period of time, and power spikes or equipment failure may result in the loss of critical digital data files. While such events may appear implausible, they are not unheard of, and the consequences can be devastating. Businesses must be prepared for any eventuality. They must have plans and procedures in place to mitigate these risks and respond to any negative outcomes. That is what the catastrophe recovery field is all about. It's critical to be aware of the resources and solutions accessible in order to comprehend catastrophe recovery and the efforts firms may take to assure their preparation. What is the definition of disaster recovery? The formal planning process through which a corporation builds its blueprint for responding to disruptive incidents, which can range from natural disasters to cyberattacks to power outages, is known as disaster recovery. A disaster recovery plan, a formal document that describes responsibilities, policies, processes, and resource allocation to assist firm executives in navigating the aftermath of a cataclysmic event, is often the product of the disaster recovery process. A disaster recovery plan's ultimate purpose is to help businesses minimise the consequences of a disaster and resume normal operations as fast as feasible. It's crucial to realise that disasters can have far-reaching consequences for a company, including lost productivity, income, brand reputation damage, and consumer unhappiness. Businesses use a disaster recovery plan to get back up and running as quickly as possible, ideally reducing or limiting the negative consequences. All possible contingencies must be addressed in disaster recovery strategies. Companies must account for more than just data loss; they must also account for structural damage or utilities that are down for days at a time. Furthermore, effective disaster recovery plans handle all aspects of business operations, including phone and internet outages as well as the inability to use certain areas of the structure. Disaster Recovery's Evolution In recent decades, the field of catastrophe recovery has advanced tremendously. Prior to the 1970s, the primary priority in disaster recovery was making and carefully storing paper copies of all vital papers. In other words, businesses primarily aimed to ensure that essential documents were backed up in the event of a fire or flood. Disaster recovery has evolved to prioritise digital data backups, cybersecurity, and associated factors as more and more company processes have switched to computers. Companies are increasingly aiming to keep their critical files accessible in the cloud even if their main operations centre is unavailable. The introduction of cloud computing is viewed as a watershed moment in disaster recovery, offering businesses with a variety of options for reducing the risk of their digital assets.

Sustainable Enterprise Strategies for Optimizing Digital Stewardship by Angela I. Fritz Pdf

For most academic libraries, archives and museums, digital content management is increasingly occurring on a holistic enterprise level. As most institutions contemplate an enterprise digital content strategy for a growing number of digitized surrogates and born-digital assets, libraries, archives, and museums understand that these expanding needs can only be met by more flexible approaches offered by a multicomponent digital asset management ecosystem (DAME). Increasingly, librarians, archivists, and curators are managing an integrated digital ecosystem by coordinating and complementing a number of existing and emerging initiatives. This guide provides a high-level overview and offers a conceptual framework for understanding a digital asset management ecosystem with discussions on digital collection typologies and assessment, planning and prioritization, the importance of a community of practice through associated workflows, and an understanding of the critical role that foresight planning plays in balancing an evolving infrastructure and expanding digital content with creative cost modeling and sustainability strategies. Borrowing from the principles of data curation, integrative collection building requires an understanding of the library’s “digital ecosystem” of licensed content, digitized material, and born-digital content in order to ensure strategic growth of institutional collections in the context of long-term holistic collection management plans. Key elements discussed in this book include: the importance of digital collection assessment, analysis, and prioritization, the realignment of accession and appraisal methodologies for efficient digital content acquisition, the need to think holistically relating to tool selection and infrastructure development to ensure interoperability, scalability, and sustainability of a universe of digital assets, the creation of cross-functional workflows in accordance with policies and plans, the importance of advocating for growing resources needed for managing, descriptive, administrative, technical, rights and preservation metadata across the institution, and the significance of distributed digital preservation models with a growing array of associated options for cloud storage.

Secure Edge Computing by Mohiuddin Ahmed,Paul Haskell-Dowland Pdf

The internet is making our daily life as digital as possible and this new era is called the Internet of Everything (IoE). Edge computing is an emerging data analytics concept that addresses the challenges associated with IoE. More specifically, edge computing facilitates data analysis at the edge of the network instead of interacting with cloud-based servers. Therefore, more and more devices need to be added in remote locations without any substantial monitoring strategy. This increased connectivity and the devices used for edge computing will create more room for cyber criminals to exploit the system’s vulnerabilities. Ensuring cyber security at the edge should not be an afterthought or a huge challenge. The devices used for edge computing are not designed with traditional IT hardware protocols. There are diverse-use cases in the context of edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) in remote locations. However, the cyber security configuration and software updates are often overlooked when they are most needed to fight cyber crime and ensure data privacy. Therefore, the threat landscape in the context of edge computing becomes wider and far more challenging. There is a clear need for collaborative work throughout the entire value chain of the network. In this context, this book addresses the cyber security challenges associated with edge computing, which provides a bigger picture of the concepts, techniques, applications, and open research directions in this area. In addition, the book serves as a single source of reference for acquiring the knowledge on the technology, process and people involved in next generation computing and security. It will be a valuable aid for researchers, higher level students and professionals working in the area.
