It almost seems that there are as many definitions of the “blended attack” in IT security, as there are experts willing to give them.
Ideally, business continuity means no discontinuity.
Once upon a time, IT security was all about building the highest wall possible to keep attackers out and corporate users and systems safe.
In theory, IT should be a boon for business continuity. Speed, reliability, automation, efficiency, productivity, all these things are positive effects available by moving to a digital environment driven by information technology.
Risk assessment is already a vast subject and the pitfalls of risk assessment alone would probably fill a good-sized book.
Politics in career progression, in investments, in enterprise projects – but in business continuity as well?
People, products, processes, and partners are the four “P”s of IT service design in a lifecycle model for IT services, but is there something missing?
To stay healthy, should you get your jabs or eat your vegetables?
Back in 2004 at the RSA Security Conference, Bill Gates was campaigning for the replacement of the password by two-factor authentication or some other secure mechanism.
Don’t get us wrong, simply telling somebody how wonderful he or she is unlikely to guarantee business continuity!
Talk about the long arm of the law!
In business continuity management, should you start with what you want or with what you have?
The case of Code Spaces still echoes in cyberspace.

Jargon crops up everywhere, and business continuity is no exception. RTO, RPO, BIA, and others are often sprinkled liberally into conversations, plans, and reports.
Attack sophistication is growing. 20 years ago, social engineering had already made inroads and automated attacks were on the rise, with denial-of-service, browser executable attacks, and techniques for uncovering vulnerabilities in the binary code of applications.
Every so often it’s good to shake things up. Sometimes the simple act of asking questions about what we do in business continuity and why we do it can give us a fresh point of view and point out areas for improvement.

Labour-saving devices, robots, and automation – Weren’t they all supposed to improve the quality of life, by removing manual work and drudgery?
