describes organization’s ability to withstand a disaster as well as the
processes that must be followed to achieve disaster recovery.

Continuity Plan

A business continuity plan (BCP) is a plan to
help ensure that business processes can
continue during a time of emergency or disaster.
Businesses need to look at all such potential
threats and plan BCPs to ensure continued
operations should the threat become a reality.
In BCPs you need to establish recovery time
objectives (RTOs) and recovery point
objectives (RPOs).
9. RTO & RPO
RTO stands for recovery time objective,
which is the duration of time in which a
business must restore normal system recovery
to avoid consequences that can not only break
business continuity but also cause financial
loss.
RPO stands for recovery point objective,
which is the time that a disruption occurs
before the maximum acceptable data loss that
can be tolerated is reached. This means data
loss to the point where disruption can be
caused to the general running of the business.

AT&T's long-distance network was a model of reliability
and strength. It carried over 70% of the nation's long-
distance traffic, route over 115 million telephone calls.
But some thing happen in 1990,At 2:25pm on Monday,
January 15th,Within seconds, the giant 72 screen video
array that graphically represented the network was
crisscrossed with a tangle of red lines as a rapidly
spreading malfunction leapfrogged from one computer-
operated switching center to another. They try to bring the
network back, AT&T alone lost more than $60 million in
unconnected calls.

Reason Behind the
Crash
The cause of the problem had come months before. In early December,
technicians had upgraded the software to speed processing of certain types
of messages. Although the upgraded code had been rigorously tested, a one-
line bug was inadvertently added to the recovery software of each of the 114
switches in the network.
The defect was a C program that featured a break statement located within
an if clause, that was nested within a switch clause.

Disaster Recovery
AT&T's Network Disaster Recovery program was formed in 1991
to develop a way to respond to that "what if" scenario—the loss of
an entire central office.
Here are the few measures taken by the NDRT:
• They roll in COLTs (Cell on light trucks) and provides
emergency sell coverage .
• They also provide charging stations
• The Hazardous Materials team trains technicians on how put
on the proper safety garb to get access in to areas to service
AT&T’s infrastructure.

A free Wi-Fi connection in a public space can seem like a lifesaver when you’re on the go. But if
you decide to use it, just be aware that you could be making yourself an easy target for hackers
and putting your information at risk.
