ABSTRACT

Unanticipated crises can lead to immense negative consequences for businesses. Analyzing these risks and making appropriate decisions regarding them is very challenging but necessary to generate requisite security. Risk management encompasses assessing risks, appraising alternatives and applying solutions. Enterprise risk management mainly concentrates on risks to the organization's resources, including compliance, environmental, financial, governance, safety and security risks. Infrastructure for an organization also includes buildings, building systems and equipment. The starting point for the construction of a disaster resilient building is location. Infrastructure outages may also be caused by man-made events, that are accidents or malicious acts. Disaster recovery for information technology (IT) focuses on maintaining or restoring the systems and communication capabilities of the organization after a disaster. A major goal is to transform modern business into an always-on e-business by identifying and implementing continuous computing technologies.
