Abstract: This article talks about the important link between cybersecurity and disaster recovery planning, showing how important it is to include strong security measures in disaster recovery plans. It looks at the risks and weaknesses that come up during disaster recovery, like being more open to online threats, having security controls broken, and the chance that vulnerabilities will appear again during the recovery process. Some of the most important things that the piece talks about to lower cyber risks are strong backup and recovery plans, data encryption, access controls, and authentication measures. It also stresses how important it is to have a clear plan for how to handle an event, regular training and education programs for cybersecurity, and ongoing improvement through testing and using new technologies. Case studies and examples from real life are used to show what happens when safety measures aren't up to par and how important it is to plan for all possible disasters.
