Information Security and Business Continuity Both Protect Your Business

Cybersecurity and business continuity are usually handled by two teams that don’t talk to each other very much. The security team is driven by technology, driven by concerns about the technology that creates risks and the technology that provides protection. The business continuity team is driven by non-technical business issues.

Except the two teams really should be talking to each other. Business continuity isn’t just about recovering from natural disasters. Manmade disasters, like a cyberattack, can also lead to a need to invoke your business continuity and disaster recovery plans. It’s important to make sure cybersecurity is part of your thinking about how to avoid disaster and how to recover from disaster.

Any cybersecurity threat that results in exposure of data also exposes the company to a significant reputational risk that threatens the company’s ongoing operations. Because many businesses suffer repeated attempts at hacking, cybersecurity risks may in fact be a bigger threat to the business than events like a 100-year flood.

This means that your business continuity and information security teams need to be able to collaborate in response to a data breach or other cybersecurity incident.
