The natural next step after initial response is the interim and permanent recovery of critical systems. A management-approved business continuity strategy in place provides guidance relative to the requirements of initial response, what to recover, and to what extent it should be recovered. A strategy built on unachievable assumptions results in incident response and recovery plans with little or no chance of success. Logistical considerations include what equipment is initially necessary to concurrently recover critical systems, if necessary. A recovery strategy is necessary before planning for events resulting in loss of most or all data center capabilities.”]
