The recent Atlanta airport FIASCO paints a clear picture of how to screw up EVERYTHING! As an information security professional (with more than 15 years experience on the battlefield, literally), I was dumbfounded by the lack of adherence to the most basic best business practices related to business continuity and disaster recovery operations. Five basic failures happened that make the Atlanta airport a softer target for future attack. Airport and city officials only planned for a best-case scenario. Airport officials should have a coherent, acceptable, and tested business continuity/disaster recovery plan.”]
