Why should Business Continuity be Integrated with Cyber Security?
The two main links between cybersecurity and business continuity management. First at the stage of risk analysis and second during the development of business continuity plans, our emergency procedures. At the beginning of developing business continuity plan, cyber security specialists can provide very important information regarding potential threats and potential risks which could cause a loss of availability of mission critical systems or loss of critical data. Because that’s what they do.
The second stage where the link is very important during the crisis situation we have to remember that the business interruption could be caused intentionally to get access to our systems and data. That’s why business continuity specialists developing plans should always seek advice from cyber security colleagues, because the cyber security, just like any form of security shouldn’t be compromised during a crisis situation. All the emergency procedures, all business continuity plan procedures should always include the necessary protection, also regarding critical data.
