Business Resiliency: Recovering from a Wipeout

Amidst the mounting demands on businesses to maintain their IT resources, the significance of robust recovery plans is escalating, underscoring the need for effective preparedness. This theory also applies to surfers. With changing weather patterns, currents, and chaos of the ocean, they never know what will happen when they swim out to ride a wave. Both risk managers and surfers need to be able to recover; or their businesses, and boards, will go under.

Wipeouts, in both respects, are inevitable. But unfortunately, you can’t always see a rogue wave or global pandemic crossing the horizon. It is important to be prepared to face these challenges quickly and efficiently otherwise, both surfers and risk managers will be put in a bad position. Remaining calm and sticking to their plan is what saves their life.

The result of a wipeout depends on what you do before you even get into the water. Make sure your result is the former, not the latter, with Archer’s business resiliency.
