10 Talking SMAC and cyber security (social, mobile, analytics, cloud) The U.S. Director of National Intelligence ranks cybercrime as the No. 1 national security threat, ahead of terrorism, espionage, and weapons of mass destruction Predictions in 2018 indicate that at least two-thirds of enterprises will discover a breach of sensitive data At some point, your organization WILL suffer a cyber-security breach in fact, you may even have a breach at this moment Most breaches are not even discovered by the breached party Inadequate incident response leads to financial, operational, and reputational losses 10

12 Data backup and DR needs are increasing rapidly More stringent governmental and industryspecific regulations Human Resources Healthcare Finance Legal Shorter backup windows Complex, multi-platform environments Reduced IT staff 12

13 Consider these five critical questions in the event of a security breach, data loss or disaster 1. Which data, applications, and servers will impact your business functions and in what timeframe? 2. What are the technologies hosting this information today and in the foreseeable future? 3. How quickly do you need to get the data back and systems running again? 4. Which personnel would be involved in the recovery process including client and/or patient notification? 5. Where would your recovery happen should you lose access to critical servers or your complete site? 13

14 Backup Options RTO and RPO discussion IBM i Cloud Backup Cloud, Hybrid Cloud & Private Cloud DRaaS High Availability + Cloud (archival) Information gathering, analyze, and assess Backup and DR for ALL platforms and databases Data location considerations U.S Patriot Act 14

15 Disaster Recovery Options Hour DR Quick Ship Program (i) 2. <24 hours: warm shared system 3. <12 hours: hot dedicated and pre-loaded System 4. <1 hour: High Availability Meet your Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) 15

16 Select a vendor that provides secure online backup and DR solutions Complete backup and disaster recovery solutions including enterprise security training Supports all major platforms and databases Multiple secure data centers Remote hardware disaster recovery solutions IBM Power Systems (iseries specialists) Passionate support, disaster readiness and technology that scales with your business 16

17 Make sure you get the FULL solution When vendors come knocking at your door, be prepared to put them through the paces of explaining how their technology protects you Then ask them what they do about the human side If you get a blank stare, then proceed with caution. You may be getting only half a solution. 17
