Did you survive the great 'AWS Outage of October 20th'? 😳

By
This week I watched as firms posted online about how they couldn't access critical systems... 

But while many were asking "What caused it?" The real question should be ...

"What would you do if it happened and took longer to come back?"

πŸ‘‰ What are your Contingency plans? 
πŸ‘‰ Do you have manual processes to turn to? 
πŸ‘‰ And if you do, how do they ensure security?

Some people in cybersecurity believe that an outage like this has nothing to do with Security (I'm not one of them). 

Good information security is about Confidentiality, integrity and availability - it doesn't matter HOW these are compromised. When they are, that's a big problem for us.

🧐 What systems do you rely on?
🧐 What are your contingency plans if they go down?
🧐 When does an outage become a crisis for you?

If the AWS outage didn't affect you, great. But don't let it go to waste. Still ask the above questions and build out your plan today.

Remember it wasn't raining when Noah built the ark! πŸ¦’πŸ¦’ 🐘🐘 πŸ‘πŸ‘

If you need help with your Contingency Plans, either building them or testing them, DM me and let's have a conversation to see how I can help.
